Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea, November 13, 2024 – Transparency International Papua New Guinea (TIPNG) is pleased to announce the engagement of four talented students from the University of Papua New Guinea (UPNG) under its Internship Program 2024-2025.
Three law students – Mr. Isaiah Iovatt, Ms. Lyzann Kouni, and Ms. Kylie Sabarei – and one English Communication student, Mr. Jordahl Gemo, will embark on a 13-week immersive learning and work experience program.
The legal interns will be assigned to TIPNG’s Partnerships and Policy section, where they will gain practical experience in reviewing policies, drafting campaign briefs, and assisting with the Anti-Corruption Help Desk. Their responsibilities will include interviewing victims and witnesses of corruption, collecting corruption complaints, updating the TIPNG Salesforce database, and preparing case files for review and referral.
The communications intern will work with TIPNG’s Communications team and contribute to the implementation of TIPNG’s communications strategy, carry out event planning, media engagement, and disseminate advocacy campaigns.
“We are excited to welcome this new cohort of interns to TIPNG,” said Ms. Arianne Kassman, CEO of TIPNG. “Internships provide invaluable opportunities for young professionals to gain practical experience and contribute to our mission of empowering promoting transparency and accountability.”
This marks the sixth intake of legal interns and the second intake of a communication intern at TIPNG. The internship program is a testament to TIPNG’s commitment to developing future leaders and fostering a new generation of anti-corruption advocates.
