• Trade law
• Economics
• Statistics
• Trade policy
• Languages
• Administration (procurement, finance, human resources)
• Information, communication and external relations
• Information management

A candidate must:

• have completed his/her undergraduate studies in a relevant discipline and have completed at least one year of his/her postgraduate studies
• be at least 21 years old and a maximum of 30 years old during the internship.

Duration and Benefits: Up to a maximum of six months. Interns receive a daily allowance of CHF 60 (including week-ends and official holidays falling within the selected period). Travel expenses to and from Geneva cannot be paid by the WTO, and such travel is not covered by the Organization’s insurance.
