Sponsorship Sought for International Clinical Engineering Education Co-operation CEASA has been approached to assist in the mutually co-operative placement of German Clinical Engineering Students into practical CE internship positions in South Africa. These high quality and responsible students would arrange their own fare to and from South Africa. Internship periods required are for a duration of 20 weeks (about 5 months) per student. Essentially the focus is upon finding quality local internship partners and seeking sponsorship for the students' living expenses whilst in South Africa. Ideally some 40 - 50% of the internship should be within a hospital environment, the balance with a reputable company. Anyone whom can assist in any way with sponsorship packages or to partly assist in the way of assured internship, accommodation or the cost thereof, day to day out of pocket expenses, meals, transport or any other helpful facility to realise this important international co-operation objective, should contact either Rob Dickinson or Riaan van der Watt for further details. |
