Developing IT to Support Victims - Web and mobile applications are increasingly being used to support victims around the world. We would like to develop apps to directly support victims and which local organisations can take on and adapt to their situation. If you have technical skills in this area we’d love to hear from you!
These are just some of the ways you can help us. We’re only a small office, but we have many ideas to help victims. If you want to be part of our mission to help millions of victims around Europe contact us today!
Join us as an Intern
In 2016, VSE will develop an internship programme for students currently studying at university (both undergraduates and post-graduates).
Our aim is to begin the programme in September 2016, having developed a more formal structure to ensure that interns are able to get the most from their internship and that VSE benefits from their skills, enthusiasm and knowledge.
We want to ensure that interns gain new knowledge of victims’ issues, develop new skills they may not gain from University studies and establish their own network of contacts for their future careers.
If you would be interested in an internship with VSE, please let us know and we will add you to our contact list for when the programme begins.
