Professional Development Opportunities
Nicaraguan youth are extraordinarily talented and are eager to achieve a better life and improve their communities. Many families have sacrificed to send their children to university because they know education is the key, but often the lack of resources has been an obstacle. This is why Fundación A. Jean Brugger provides scholarship opportunities to young people so they can pursue university careers.
As part of our strategy we find ways to provide professional development opportunities, including innovating within our own programs.
2020 has brought a new opportunity: a 6 months internship at the Colegio Nórdico Internacional (CNI) in Managua. Two Fundación scholars are at the point in their humanities studies where this intern opportunity could make a large difference in their professional development.
The scholars would be teacher’s assistants for children in the first years of education (from preschool to third grade), and would learn from the experience of the Center for Educational and Social Research (CIASES), which has developed a comprehensive early childhood educational system, the “Chiqui Gym” educational project, which is implemented in the CNI.
The two scholars are from the San Juan del Sur area and although they both study in Managua, they do so in Saturday courses. In order to take advantage of this internship opportunity, they must travel to and/or remain in Managua for more days than normal.

From Josette…
“I am passionate about working with children and adolescents in the emotional area, I feel that it is part of me. I like to read, and I love having quality time to share with my family and friends. I like to do recreational activities with the children of my church and give motivational talks to young people so that they are inspired to get ahead.”

“I consider myself an empathetic and responsible person. My greatest passion is to be a Social Worker and Advocate for family rights, which guarantees the restitution and protection of the fundamental rights of children and adolescents who are in a situation of disadvantage, vulnerability and risk. I love traveling, and getting involved and working in various areas of social intervention. I love plants and doing crafts with recycled materials.”
