Supporting University and College Student Placements and Field Education Experiences
What we do
KarmaFlights helps to organize placement and field education experiences for students enrolled in colleges and universities around the world.
Importantly, we understand that as students, you will have all kinds of assessment and learning tasks you need to complete during your placement, and we want to make sure it is a successful learning experience for you.
Our role includes:
Sourcing suitable placements.
Information sessions prior to arriving in Nepal.
Meet and greet services upon arriving in Nepal.
Cultural, language, and city orientation.
Sourcing suitable accommodation.
Providing personable care and support to you through the placement when you need it!
Trekking adventures
After you have finished your placement, we will also organize a trekking adventure for you.
