The Microfinance Association (MA), an international membership organization for practitioners in the microfinance industry, has launched its Global Academy Program (GAP). The three-month program, developed by MA and Marconi University of Italy, is aimed at graduates seeking to develop a professional career in microfinance or international development.
Students are required to complete a three-month internship program at a microcredit organization upon completion of the course. MA is currently seeking partners that can provide internship opportunities for students.
