BACKGROUND
The IOM Internship Programme provides students with the opportunity to learn about IOM’s activities, to gain initial work experience, and/or gain knowledge on a broad range of migration technical areas and disciplines. IOM provides on-the-job training to interns so that both they, and the Organization, can benefit. Furthermore, internships build links with academic institutions and universities.
Each year, IOM welcomes hundreds of interns to work within IOM offices globally.
Interns are given assignments and responsibility commensurate with their academic and professional experience and are placed under the guidance of a supervisor.
