Remote internships with Jamaica international projects provide an alternative to traveling overseas to apply what you learned in your college or university course to practical use. Work with top-class organizations in Jamaica, the Caribbean, or the United States online to get professional experience in your future career field.
Online internships with JIP allow you to take control of your professional development by working with experts in a virtual yet productive setting. You can complete your digital internship in many fields such as healthcare, business, copywriting, finance, journalism, and more.
Our virtual internships are open to young professionals, college students, and graduates seeking meaningful experience in the work world from the comfort of their own home, at their own pace. We go much further than simply arranging your internship though, as you will get access to dozens of useful resources to boost your work ethics, project management skills, communication, and business etiquette. Our remote internships will supercharge your resume.
You will be assigned a supervisor at your host company who will assign you tasks, conduct meetings, answer your questions, review your work and offer you feedback on your performance. Your supervisor will also be certifying work hours completed.
You will enjoy a great deal of freedom during your remote internship, which will force you to employ and develop your critical thinking skills.
We offer Online internships in a wide range of fields, including:

We will review your applications within 2 business days and send you an offer letter by email if you have been accepted, and you will be assigned your Project Advisor. If you receive an offer letter, you will be able to secure your space by paying the virtual internship processing fee.
After you have received an offer letter, your remote internship will not be confirmed until you make your payment in full. The total cost is a 1-time payment of $949 USD. Once your payment is made we will confirm the host company that you will be placed with within 21 days. The processing fee is due no later than 4 weeks before your project start date.
Once we confirm a potential internship host for you, the host company may request that you conduct a virtual interview before you are accepted. Once your host company is confirmed, we will provide you with online orientation, and you will formally begin your internship.
Overall, I had an amazing time with this program. I love how individualize the projects were and how Jomo really invested his time into making sure you enjoyed each experience. Working with the nutritionist was a wonderful time for me and taught me many lessons that I will use as a further in my career. As well as, as the children’s home open my eyes to a whole different side of life that I have never seen before. As far as the accommodation goes, it was excellent. I enjoyed getting to know him and his guest that were staying.
For the future, hopefully, there will be more volunteers than one at a time. I enjoyed the alone time because part of the reason I came on this trip was to get away from all the drama in my life back home! But for others, they might get kind of bored or lonely. All in all, I will remember this trip always and glad I had such a great experience!
WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE. This was a life changing experience. The children were so great. They gave me and taught me so much more than I gave them. This was one of the most satisfying trips I’ve ever done. Jomo, his mother and Dwayne were great hosts and caretakers. Jamaica and its people will forever be in my heart.
Unforgettable experience! All of you should try it. It was only my first-time volunteering and I’d love to do it again through the same Jamaica International Projects.
