An internship is a temporary position with an emphasis on on-the-job training rather than merely employment. Internships allow students to work with established companies, organizations, non-governmental organizations and in projects teams.

Internships can be crucial for developing skills and knowledge that are vital for success after graduation. They often provide real project and career experience that is not traditionally taught at universities. Most specialized areas of studies require an internship to qualify as a professional.

E2S recommend that students take on as many internships and volunteering activities as possible during the course of their studies. Students without internship experience often have a very hard time beginning their professional careers. Volunteer internships are generally unpaid, but some internship provides stipends.

WHERE TO FIND POSITIONS

Companies: Many companies offer internships and usually they are paid opportunities. These internships are very valuable because they provide real insights into the professional field. In many cases, internships can be key to employment with a company.

Government: Many levels of government provide opportunities for students to gain an experience in public sector business and activities.

International Organizations: These high profile organisations, such as the United Nations, World Bank, and European Union, have open calls for interns. E2S can help you find the right positions.

NGOs & Institutes: Since the NGO world is dynamic and mostly project-based, NGOs have calls for interns when there is need.
