If you are a recent university graduate in architecture, structural or civil / environmental engineering, consider an internship with eMi². Coming to live in the mountains of North India is an experience you will never forget! During your internship you will join eMi² project teams in different places all over South Asia, gain professional experience by designing development projects with eMi² staff and volunteers, learn about Indian culture, religion, and customs, experience God’s heart for the nations, and build relationships which will last a lifetime. Each year, eMi² hosts a 6-month and a 4-month internship program and also offers mini-internships which we call Project+.
Here’s what some eMi² interns have to say about their experience:
“The most rewarding part was after all the hot days and hard work, when we finally met with the hospital staff and discussed a lot of the issues on the campus... It was great to see their eyes open up and really let loose a lot of great ideas regarding their ministry and the growth of the hospital.” – Aaron Reinke, USA, Project+ Civil Engineering Intern, June 2009
“God has increased my passions and clarified my vision. God has helped me want to know him more. God is teaching me discipline, patience, and to trust him. It has been good to see the way the church and ministries are working here, also to see more of how eMi² is a partner and encouragement to the ministries.” – David Burgess, UK, 4-month + 6-month Civil Engineering Intern, 2007–2008
“Architecturally I was surprised at the variety of projects I was included in as well as the different skills I was able to use. I really enjoyed being able to help design projects, to learn new rendering skills, and to work alongside staff.” – Melissa Bleck, USA, 6-month Architecture Intern, 2006
“Highlights – Times when I felt that I connected directly with locals. Top on that list must be the times I explored the Mussoorie bazaar with Inam’s son Shadab. That 10-year-old showed me what it meant to take a child-like joy in the simple things around... and his trust and immediate friendship to me – a stranger – was so refreshing. I felt like somehow God was working through that...
Lowlights – Being sick in bed. Horrible.” – Yu-Hsien Chia, Singapore, Project+ Architecture Intern, 2004
