- Journalism and Media Arts (e.g., Photography, Film Production, Animation, and Music Supervision)
- Social Sciences and Business Administration
- Law, Engineering, and Security Management
By providing exposure to KRA’s operations, this internship equips participants with the skills and experience needed to excel in the competitive job market.
