Chilombo Scholars Program

Chilombo Global Career Services LLC is launching the Chilombo Scholars Program in Summer 2021 to provide paid work experiences to students and recent graduates (undergraduate and graduate level) of Black/African Descent with a background in public health. Because this is a pilot program, a limited number of nonprofits will be chosen for Summer 2021. Nonprofits who are not selected will be placed on a waiting list until the next cohort is available. 

Do you aspire to work in public health? Would you like to grow your experience in the social sector? Chilombo Careers has launched the Chilombo Scholars program to provide a pathway for students and recent graduates (undergraduate and graduate level) of Black/African Descent in public health to gain paid experience. As a scholar you would be paid $12 per hour for 8 weeks, working  remotely for 10 hours a week. 

Onboarding & Professional Development- Upon acceptance into the program, you will begin with a paid week of professional development sessions with your Chilombo Scholars cohort. The daily sessions will aim to prepare you for your supportive roles at your future placements. In addition, this may possibly be the time you are onboarded with your placement. 

Applied Experience & Final Deliverable- During weeks 2-7 you will spend 10 hours a week obtaining real world experience. During week 8 you will present a deliverable on your overall experience with your cohort and the Chilombo Careers team.

Career Coaching- You will also gain access to a one on one coaching session with a career coach from the Chilombo Careers team to ask any questions you have about careers, resume revamping, interview prep, and more.
