In the run up to the Annual SAIIA-KAS Careers Evening on 12 August 2015, we interviewed a former SAIIA-KAS intern, Mark Schoeman. Mark was an intern with the economic diplomacy team at the South African Institute of International Affairs (SAIIA) in 2014, and is now a full-time researcher at SAIIA.
As the careers evening aims to expose students with a humanities background to a variety of opportunities available to them, we wanted to provide some personal insight into what it is like being an intern at SAIIA. Click on the video above to listen to Mark discussing what it was like being an intern, how he benefited from the internship at SAIIA, what advice he has for those looking to apply for the internship, and why he chose to follow the career path of being a researcher after his internship ended.
