Commonwealth of Learning - Internship & Attachment

COL's "Sharing our Services" programme

"Sharing our Services", is a self-serve, web-based database that aims to connect experienced educators, retired or otherwise, with distance education organisations/institutions that could benefit from their advice, training or professional input. The programme is designed to match those distance education professionals willing to offer their services at a nominal, or preferably no-fee, basis on short-term assignments with institutions/organisations in developing Commonwealth countries that would be interested in securing their services. Distance educators and requesting institutions register their information independently on the secure, online database and those that have registered may search the database for matches.

For more details about Sharing our Services and access to the database, see left sidebar link.

COL's Internship and Attachment Programme

COL's Internship and Attachment Programme provides financial support for individuals who are at an early stage or mid-point in their careers and would benefit from a short-term attachment to another institution within their geographic region.

Internship and attachment assignments will be linked to the current priorities in COL's Three-year Plan, e.g., the use of appropriate technologies, instructional design, non-formal education, copyright, learner support systems and training.

The programme provides for attachments and internship opportunities for distance educators at institutions within their geographic region.
