"The desire to give back to the society, contribute towards building the careers of the youth, and work with bright minds are just a few of the many reasons why these icons are excited to be a part of IwI 3.0," said a statement from Internashala.
The online event began on April 24 and will end on April 30.
Intern with Icon was launched in 2016 with the objective to provide students with a once in a lifetime opportunity to work and learn from their role models. The previous two editions saw students applying to internship opportunities with Nandita Das, Rahul Ram, Bhaichung Bhutia, Shaheen Mistri, Amitabh Kant, and Gul Panag.
Intern with Icon 3.0 would offer internships in fields ranging from video editing, research, graphic design to social media marketing and management.
"Since 2010, Internshala is on a mission to build a culture of meaningful internships and Intern with Icon is a step towards that. We have been steadfast in creating unique opportunities which would add immense value to the lives of the youth," said Sarvesh Agrawal, the founder and CEO of Internshala on the launch of the initiative.
"Through this initiative", Mr. Agrawal added that, "we hope to encourage the youth to follow their passion and help them learn directly from their role models. There is no dearth of talent in India, and we realised that if students can get mentorship from these icons, it would equip them with industry knowledge and soft skills."
