NATO Internship Programme

NATO Internship Programme

2004-2005
Programme Summary
This year, NATO is pleased to introduce its new Internship Programme to provide a small number of current or recent students with the opportunity to intern with the International Staff at NATO Headquarters in Brussels. We are looking for highly motivated candidates from a wide variety of disciplines including: political science, international relations, security studies, economics, engineering, law, linguistics, human resources, information technology, and journalism.

Interns will benefit by gaining understanding of an international organisation while substantiating their Curriculum Vitae.

All internship placements will run in principle for six months. The first group of interns will start September 2005, though placements can be made before that on a rolling basis, according to divisional need and the availability of the intern.

Programme Objective

The NATO Internship Programme has four main objectives:
To provide the Organisation with access to the latest theoretical and technical knowledge that the intern can apply through practical work assignments, as well as with additional staff resources.
To provide interns with an opportunity to learn from the NATO community and get a better understanding and a more balanced view of the Organisation
To contribute to creating a more diverse and gender-balanced workforce
To expand understanding of NATO in alliance countries

Conditions for Internship

Please note that NATO internships will not be remunerated. Interns are required to have health insurance coverage, and take care of formalities with the Belgian authorities regarding their stay in Belgium. Most interns will require a security clearance from their national authorities prior to working at NATO.
