Imagine jumpstarting your career while actually making a difference in the lives of people around the world.

That’s exactly what TechnoServe is offering with its 2025 Graduate Internship Program in Nigeria—a hands-on opportunity for young professionals who want to grow their skills while supporting real-world change.

For over five decades, TechnoServe has been helping to fight poverty—not just through aid, but by tapping into the power of business.

Their work focuses on empowering people in low-income communities, especially women and young people, to create lasting economic impact.

A Mission Rooted in Real Change

TechnoServe believes that everyone, regardless of where they come from, should have a fair shot at building a brighter future.

Whether it’s working with small-scale farmers or supporting emerging entrepreneurs, their mission is to unlock economic opportunities through smart, sustainable business practices.

And when people thrive financially, everything else improves too—better access to healthcare, education, and a stronger sense of hope for the future.

It’s about lifting not just individuals, but entire communities.
