Trusted Jobs

Every year IOM receives approximately 700 interns worldwide. IOM is present in more than 400 duty stations around the world assisting governments in managing migration flows while ensuring safe and orderly migration. We require a wide variety of professionals to carry out our mandate.  

Since 2018 approximately 20 internship positions per year are offered to talented junior professionals who are nationals of countries who are not part of the OECD-DAC list. At IOM we acknowledge that especially for nationals of some countries it is harder to reach our Headquarters in Switzerland and to travel to our other destinations to do an internship. This program addressed this imbalance by covering the travel and visa costs for these positions. This is interrupted now due to the COVID-19 epidemic and we hope to be able to resume in 2022. 

In 2021 selected candidates for these positions will receive:  

• A monthly stipend, just as any other intern
• An additional monthly bonus to cover high speed internet costs and office supplies
• Personalized guidance on how to access international careers, CV drafting and more

COVID-19 information: In 2021 all internships will continue to be done remotely. You can remain wherever you are while performing the duties assigned during your internship. Be mindful of the time difference. For example, if you are in the Americas and you apply for a position in Asia, it may require that you agree with your supervisor your work hours, and it may mean that on some days you will need to work night-time when it is daytime in Asia.  

Besides nationality, we especially encourage applications from qualified individuals with disabilities, ethnic or racial minorities, and LGBTIQ+ individuals.
