NATO launches 2017 call for interns
15 March 2016
2 MIN READ
NATO’s prestigious internship programme offers an opportunity for future peace and security professionals to see how the Alliance works from the inside. The call for 2017 interns opened on 7 March. Young graduates and research students from a wide range of academic disciplines are invited to apply by 11 April 2016.
As an international organisation, NATO is characterised by diversity. It is comprised of people from different backgrounds and cultures, work styles and ways of thinking. This is reflected in the Organization’s internship programme, which offers opportunities in a variety of fields, including communications, finance, human resources, international relations, IT, law and political science.
Unique experience
Maxime carried out his internship in the NATO Translation Service after completing a Master’s in Translation and Communication.
“It was clearly one of my best professional experiences,” he says. “I could work with experienced translators and state-of-the-art computer-assisted translation tools.”
As well as an inside perspective of the Organization, Maxime also benefited from interacting with other interns.
“I could share views with fellow interns from very different backgrounds and cultures,” he says. “An internship at NATO is definitely more than just a line on your CV.”
As an intern in the Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) Non-proliferation Centre of NATO’s Emerging Security Challenges Division, Matej worked with subject matter experts and gained an understanding of the current dynamics in the field of chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) defence, and WMD non-proliferation.
“The NATO Internship Programme was truly a unique professional experience. Not only was I privileged to cooperate with subject-matter experts, but I had also the opportunity to see bilateral and multilateral diplomacy at work,” Matej tells us.
Various opportunities
The range of possible thematic orientations is broad: former students of aeronautics, engineering, graphic design, journalism, law enforcement, library science, or translation, might also find a unique opportunity to gain international experience in the field of peace and security. Knowledge of Russian or Arabic is especially welcome.
Although some interns stay on at NATO after the internship to complete ongoing assignments or to take up full-time employment, many move on to other international organisations. Whatever their long-term ambitions, NATO interns gain invaluable experience as they strive to achieve them.
