Remote Internships Project
03 · Remote Internships
Remote Roots successfully implemented a pilot in Summer 2026 in collaboration with Caritas Switzerland. This pilot project explored new ways how to connect talent and opportunity across borders through remote internships. University students in Lebanon gained international work experience, while organisations in Switzerland benefit from new perspectives and exploratory insights into international collaboration with lower administrative burden.
We build bridges by creating remote internship opportunities. Our role is to connect, mentor, and support, ensuring that both companies and interns benefit from a fair, inclusive, and sustainable model. This creates a win-win situation: organisations in Switzerland gain motivated talent; young people in Lebanon gain experience and prospects.
All internship positions are currently filled.
