About IAESTE KNUST

IAESTE KNUST is the local chapter of a global, non-profit organization that connects students in science, engineering, technology, and applied arts to paid international technical training opportunities.

Through structured offer-raising and partnerships with companies worldwide, IAESTE secures exclusive internship placements each year. We help create these exclusive placements through offer-raising, working with companies to secure new placements. Each year, we facilitate international technical training placements lasting from four (4) to fifty-two (52) weeks.

By participating in IAESTE programmes, students gain:

•Real-world industry experience

•communication and professional skills

•Confidence from working in diverse, global environments

•Our mission is to equip students with the exposure, network, and experience needed to thrive anywhere in the world.
