The IOM Internship Programme provides students with the opportunity to learn about IOM's activities, to gain intial work experience, and/or to prepare for a degree dissertation. IOM provides on-the-job training to interns so that both they and the Organization can benefit. In addition to this, IOM evaluates interns who may eventually be included on the roster for future external vacancies.
Interns tend to be students approaching the end of their programme or graduates between 19 and 32 years of age.
Interns are given assignments and responsibilities commensurate with their experience and they are referred to a supervisor/tutor, who is responsible for mentoring and providing support. They can be given short assignments either designed within ongoing programmes or on an ad hoc basis. Interns are not considered to be staff members but 'terms of reference', tasks, duration of assignment, and supervisors are clearly determined.
Since February 2004, IOM Helsinki has welcomed interns from: Armenia, Bulgaria, China, Germany, New Zealand, the Russian Federation, Sweden, and Venezuela.
