Role Summary
The Graduate Associate Internship is TBI Rwanda’s Young Professional Program, a structured entry point for outstanding recent graduates to launch a career in government advisory and public sector delivery. Graduate Associates are embedded within project teams, contributing to real-time research, analysis, and delivery work that supports the Government of Rwanda on its most critical development priorities. This is first and foremost a mindset hire. We are looking for individuals who demonstrate a genuine willingness to learn, a fast-learning curve, and a can-do attitude. People who lean into ambiguity, take ownership of tasks quickly, and grow visibly over the course of the internship. Prior technical experience is welcomed but secondary to demonstrated intellectual curiosity, drive, and coachability. Graduate Associates receive structured mentoring, hands-on coaching, and direct exposure to high-impact government reform work as they build their professional foundation. The position is full-time, for Rwandan Nationals only, with a duration of 12 months, based in Kigali, Rwanda, and starts as soon as possible upon identification of a suitable candidate.
Role Responsibilities
Research, Analysis & Data Support
Conduct research and analysis, both quantitative and qualitative, to inform project deliverables and decision-making. Collect, clean, and organise data from government and other sources; carry out basic analysis such as trend identification, comparisons, and benchmarking. Support the development of simple tools, trackers, and models to monitor project indicators and progress.
Material Development & Communication
Assist in preparing high-quality presentations, reports, briefing notes, and dashboards for government counterparts. Help consolidate lessons learned and success stories for knowledge-sharing within the team and across the Institute.
Coordination and Delivery Support
Support planning, scheduling, and coordination of activities across project workstreams and the Country Office. Assist in tracking action items, deadlines, and follow-ups, and in monitoring progress against implementation plans and delivery routines (e.g. stocktakes, progress reviews). Support the organisation of meetings, workshops, and stakeholder engagements, including logistics, note-taking, and follow-up. Contribute to periodic updates and reporting on project and Country Office performance, indicators, and outcomes. Actively seek feedback and apply coaching to improve quickly, treating each task as an opportunity to build knowledge of government advisory and delivery work.
Candidate Profile
Recent graduate (within the last 12 months) or final-year student in Public Policy, Economics, Political Science, International Development, Engineering, or a related field. Strong academic performance and a demonstrated interest in public service, consulting, policy, or international development. No prior professional experience required; prior internship, research, or project experience is an added advantage but not a prerequisite. Basic confidence using Microsoft PowerPoint, Excel, and Word, with strong organisation and attention to detail. Rwandan National, based in or able to relocate to Kigali.
Capabilities And Ways Of Working
Learning Agility: A genuine willingness to learn, with a fast-learning curve and intellectual curiosity that picks up new tools, concepts, and ways of working quickly. Treats every task as a learning opportunity and applies feedback to improve.
Ownership & Drive: A can-do attitude: proactive, resourceful, and solutions-oriented even when faced with ambiguity. Takes initiative on assigned tasks, follows through reliably, and flags issues early.
Collaboration & Humility: Works well within a team, valuing others’ input and expertise. Humility and coachability: open to feedback and adjusts quickly.
Comfort with Ambiguity: Stays composed and resourceful in a fast-paced, evolving environment. Asks good questions rather than waiting for full clarity.
Development Opportunities
Exposure to high-level government delivery work. On-the-job coaching from experienced advisors and analysts. A structured feedback and mentorship process. Participation in TBI Rwanda team learning sessions.
What Success Looks Like (End Of Internship)
Has visibly grown in confidence, capability, and independence since starting the role. Delivers accurate, well-organised research, analysis, and materials with decreasing need for close supervision. Is seen by the team as a reliable, proactive contributor who takes ownership of assigned tasks. Has built foundational knowledge of government advisory and public sector delivery, with a clear sense of career direction going forward.
