The ILO-Brussels Office is looking for an intern to join its team for a period of four months (15/3/2023 – 14/7/2023). The internship offers excellent learning opportunities and exposure to the ILO’s daily work and the goal of achieving Decent Work for all. This internship is meant for an enthusiastic candidate looking to get hands-on experience in an international affairs environment, focussing on advocacy, policy and development partnerships.

The purpose of granting internship is threefold:

1. to enable carefully selected graduate students to participate in the multicultural and the tripartite work of the ILO;
2. to offer the opportunity to the participants to acquire knowledge of the ILO’s mandate, the work with the ILO constituents and to deepen their understanding of the ILO’s goals, policies and activities;
3. to enable the ILO-Brussels office to benefit from the assistance of persons with a learning attitude, genuine interest and relevant knowledge and skills in areas within the scope of the mandate of the ILO.

The internship programme is not intended to lead to a career in the ILO. There should be no expectation of further employment at the end of the internship.

The ILO values diversity. We welcome applications from qualified women and men, particularly those with disabilities. If needed, reasonable accommodation will be provided in the recruitment phase as well as during the internship to promote equality of opportunities.
