The African Business Innovators internship is a virtual internship where a UI student is paired with an African company owned by an alum of The University of Iowa Mandela Washington Fellowship program. These interns acquire skill of cross-cultural competency and communication and begin to recognize some of the macro business issues of globalization. Community health, social enterprises, technology, and agriculture are among the most common fields the businesses cover, and the internships are on varied areas; customer discovery, defining business models, developing a marketing plan, conducting market research, and more. The internship is 8-10 weeks during the summer, and interns can expect to work 10-20 hours per week. This internship is guided by Tippie faculty via a weekly Canvas course and is eligible for Tippie RISE.
