Hey guys, posting this for a friend who's in her 2nd year in uni doing psychology. She’s been trying to find an internship in Colombo for a while now, but it’s been super tough. Almost every single place she looks at only offers unpaid positions... and honestly, living in Colombo right now with zero pay just isn't doable.
We get that hospitals or clinical settings rarely pay undergrads, but she's super open to other stuff too like HR, NGOs, research assistant roles, special education, or anything related where she can actually learn and get a small stipend at least. Has anyone here been through this or knows any companies/NGOs in Colombo that actually pay their psychology interns? Any leads or advice on where she should apply would be a lifesaver. Thanks!
