The five-week professional and cultural internship programme takes place in Jamaica between June 28 and August 7, and offers second and third generation Jamaican university students the unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience interning at GraceKennedy , while immersing themselves in Jamaica’s rich culture.
Caroline Mahfood, CEO of the GraceKennedy Foundation , which coordinates the programme on GK’s behalf, agreed, explaining, “The selected students have demonstrated a genuine eagerness to engage with their Jamaican heritage. We believe that their participation on the programme will not only support their personal and professional growth but also deepen their connection with their Jamaican roots.”
The annual Birthright Programme is a collaboration between GraceKennedy and a number of public and private sector entities who also have a vested interest in nation building and engaging the Jamaican youth diaspora, including: the official airline partner, Caribbean Airlines; the exclusive transportation partner, Island Car Rentals; Jamaica Tourist Board; Jakes Hotel; Flow Jamaica; Juici Patties; Hi-Lo Food Stores; Grace Foods & Services; and World Brands Services.
