About the program

RIDE – Remote Internships in the Digital Era provides access to the labor market through high skills training and remote matching with employers through an established network of companies and institutions willing to support students and provide them with paid internships and jobs.

This project intends to select freshly graduated or near graduation students and provide them with technical and digital business skills to prepare them for remote internships in three tracks (IT/Software development, digital marketing, and research/administrative work). Then we will match 30% of them with employers through a remote internship program and then follow up and mentor them during their remote internships.

The project RIDE is implemented by LASeR within the scope of the “Funding for Training and Capacity Building” component of the HOPES-LEB project funded by the European Union, through the EU Regional Trust Fund in response to the Syrian crisis, the EU Madad Fund, and implemented by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), Campus France and Nuffic.
