SANCCOB is the only penguin and seabird institution in the world that will provide seabird interns with extensive hands-on work with seabirds. 

Working with penguins and seabirds is at the core of all our seabird internships which is why all our Seabird interns start with learning the basic skills required to handle, feed, hydrate and care for penguins and other seabird species of different ages.

Each of our 4 different seabird internships has a different focus. Click here for a quick overview of our different seabird internships.

Our seabird internships are perfect for recent graduates or university students that are required to do in service training or workplace experiential learning of 3 months or longer.

Many students and young professionals have successfully completed our different programmes and have been successful in finding employment as a result of their participation. Read their testimonials here.

What makes the seabird internship programme different from volunteering?

Our seabird internships are structured, mentored training programmes with a strong focus on skills development.

All our internships include an Online e-learning that will prepare interns thoroughly for their first day. This e-course along with a detailed training plan and regular meetings with an assigned mentor and training manager create a comfortable yet focused learning environment.
