About the ILO’s Internship Programme

The ILO is a specialized agency of the United Nations that focuses on promoting social justice through decent work worldwide. More information on the ILO and its work is available on the Organization’s website.

The ILO's Internship Programme provides a wide range of opportunities for qualified graduate/postgraduate students and recent graduates who are looking for a “hands-on” learning experience in fields related to the ILO's mandate and activities. At the ILO, interns will increase their understanding of relevant issues at the international level, through direct involvement in the work of the Office and the application of ILO values, principles, programmes, policies and strategies.

Eligibility requirements and internship conditions are available here.

In this roster, the ILO has reserved internship positions exclusively for persons with disabilities.
