Engineering Missionary Internship
An EMI Internship is a journey of professional and spiritual discipleship that will challenge you to apply your faith, education, and skills to serve the body of Christ worldwide. There are a number of positions available starting in January for the Spring term. Our US office is located in Colorado Springs, but internships are also offered in locations such as Uganda, South Africa, Cambodia, Canada, Mexico, Nicaragua, Senegal and the Middle East/North Africa region.
EMI Internships are predominantly in fields relating to architecture and civil engineering. We typically host internships in architecture, civil engineering, environmental engineering, structural engineering, electrical engineering, R&D, and construction management. Interns will work on a multi-disciplinary design team in a cross cultural setting to complete master plan, infrastructure and/or conceptual building designs for a ministry client. Occasionally, we also offer internships in other design fields. Sometimes there are opportunities for internships in graphic design, communications, business, non-profit administration, and other non-construction-related fields as well.
EMI internships are available for students who have completed at least their third year of university studies in their major. In some cases, your EMI Internship may qualify for credit hours toward your degree program, or as a university design project, or as a Co-Op placement. However, this varies widely by university and internship location, and will require advance approval & coordination. Often, EMI interns have already completed their undergraduate or graduate degrees, or have been in the professional workplace for a year or two.
EMI Internships are unpaid. Interns are coached through raising support to cover the costs of the program and receive a stipend to help off-set their cost of living.
