INTERSOS curricular internship opportunities are aimed at young people interested in the humanitarian sector who share INTERSOS values such as equality, justice, dignity of the person, equal access to rights and resources, peace and solidarity, as well as the humanitarian principles underlying its work. We also expect a predisposition to work in collaboration with a team of professionals, both international and local, flexibility and the ability to adapt to complex situations and living conditions.
INTERSOS Internships are learning experiences for young resources who want to put into practice the academic knowledge acquired during their studies and make their own direct contribution to the activities carried out by the organisation.
INTERSOS Internships experience with INTERSOS allows them to discover the full functioning of an NGO and to become aware of their own professional skills and interests. In addition, the curricular internship which takes place, partially or totally, in an INTERSOS mission abroad is the opportunity to gain field experience and to actively collaborate with INTERSOS humanitarian workers; it is therefore an entry point into a humanitarian career.
In view of its objective, the curricular internship is aimed at students enrolled in university and master’s degree courses that require the signing of a training project and an agreement with INTERSOS (as host).
