16.02.2005 NATO - Internship Programme 2004 - 2005
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.

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. Please refer to the Document on Conditions for Internship for a full description of the programme.

Eligibility Criteria
Mandatory:
- Under the age of 30 at the time of an application
- A citizen of a NATO member country
- At least two years of University study (1)
- Proficiency in one of the two official NATO languages English and French is essential.
Depending on specific divisional requirements, interns may be required to have a university degree, and/or a master's degree. Working knowledge of the other official language and knowledge of additional languages is desirable. Initial professional experience is also desirable but not mandatory.

Application Instructions
Please send the following three documents:
- A completed application form
- Curriculum Vitae
- A one-page essay on your motivations for an internship at NATO.
All applications must be sent per e-mail to the following address: intern.applications@hq.nato.int
Please note that we will be unable to place interns in all divisions. Candidates will be notified per e-mail on the status of their application.
