Finance Intern

Economics and Statistics graduate with hands-on experience in financial reporting, programme support, and finance support. Skilled in turning data into clear insights, supporting day-to-day operations, and delivering accurate, timely work in fast-paced, evidence-driven environments.

Interning at ICED has taken me from theory to practice, handling financial reports, backing programme delivery, and turning numbers into insights teams can act on. As Helen Hayes said, 'The expert in anything was once a beginner'.

MEL Intern

I am a Sociology graduate and Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) Intern at ICED, passionate about social research, data-driven decision-making, and sustainable development. I am keen to strengthen my skills in monitoring and evaluation, contribute to evidence-based programmes, and use research and insights to drive meaningful social impact.

True impact lies not only in the change we create, but in the knowledge we gain and the lessons we carry forward.

Data Analyst

Detail-oriented Data Analyst Intern with a strong foundation in quantitative research and statistical modeling. Proficient in managing datasets, executing statistical tests, and creating visual reports using SPSS and Stata to support data-driven solutions.
