3. Women's Empowerment Program:

• Internship Program
  In order to fulfil the need for capacity development of women to run SWAN's programmes along the border and inside Shan State, SWAN started an internship program in 1999. Each year three women have been interns with SWAN. To date 9 women have finished the programme, and have been working for SWAN. This program has recently been expanded, in response to increased requests by the Shan community along the border and inside Shan State.
  
  Since 2003, SWAN has expanded its internship program into a one-year course. The program equips Shan women with the skills needed to be a community-based social worker. Six women graduated from the 2003 program, and now three have been working full-time at SWAN's existing programs. The 2004 program was started in June, 2004.
