## Program Overview

Morsby, Gorman, McCarthy LLC offers a structured Infrastructure Funding & Capital Structuring Analyst Training Program designed to provide applied, educational exposure to infrastructure finance, development funding systems, and capital structuring concepts within a supervised and mentorship-driven environment.

This program forms part of a Kenya-focused infrastructure initiative within a broader global development framework. It is designed to simulate how infrastructure projects are evaluated for funding feasibility and how capital structures are conceptually developed across public and private financing channels.

Participants engage in guided analytical exercises involving development finance institutions (DFIs), multilateral funding ecosystems, and infrastructure financing models. Activities are intentionally structured to mirror professional workflows while remaining clearly educational in scope.

This program is not intended to replace paid employment or serve as a source of operational labor. All participation is structured to prioritize learning outcomes, skill development, and academic alignment.

---

## Educational Intent & Program Framework

This program is designed in alignment with widely recognized educational internship principles, including the U.S. Department of Labor’s “primary beneficiary” framework.

  • The primary beneficiary of this program is the participant
  • The experience provides training comparable to academic coursework or applied learning environments
  • Interns do not replace or displace employees or contractors
  • The organization derives no immediate commercial advantage from intern contributions
  • All activities are supervised, guided, and structured for learning
  • Interns do not execute financial transactions, negotiations, or live deal activity
  • Outputs are used for training, internal development, and educational purposes—not immediate commercial or operational outcomes

Participation is voluntary and intended to support academic and professional development.

---

## Role Overview

The Infrastructure Funding & Capital Structuring Analyst Intern supports the conceptual development of funding strategies for infrastructure initiatives through structured research, analysis, and guided exercises.

Participants will explore how infrastructure projects are financed through combinations of:

  • Public sector funding
  • Private investment
  • Development finance institutions (DFIs)
  • Blended finance models

The role emphasizes understanding, analysis, and simulation of funding structures rather than execution of real financial transactions.

All contributions occur within a supervised, non-executive, educational context.

## Core Purpose of the Role

The purpose of this role is to support the development of infrastructure funding strategies by:

  • Identifying and analyzing potential funding sources
  • Supporting the design of conceptual capital structures
