IOM Diversity and Inclusion Internship Programme
Every year, IOM welcomes hundreds of interns to work in IOM offices worldwide. IOM is present in close to 600 field locations around the world, assisting governments in managing migration flows while ensuring safe and orderly migration. IOM require a wide variety of professionals to carry out its mandate.
IOM acknowledge that especially for nationals of some countries, it is harder to reach its Headquarters in Switzerland and to travel to its Country Offices to participate in an internship. The IOM Diversity and Inclusion Internship Programme addresses this imbalance by covering the monthly stipend to support accommodation and living expenses, as well as travel and visa costs for selected interns. Interns are selected for a 6-month period through a highly competitive process, which usually includes an online test and an interview.

Since 2018, between 15 and 20 internship positions per year are offered through this IOM Diversity and Inclusion internship programme to talented junior professionals from usually under-represented groups.
In 2024, the IOM Diversity and Inclusion Internship Programme covers 15 internships. Several of these internships will be homebased, meaning that selected candidates for those roles can remain wherever they are while performing the duties assigned during their internship. Homebased positions grant a greater degree of flexibility for interested candidates who may prefer to work remotely. Candidates should 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 attend meetings or work during night-time when it is daytime in Asia.
The rest of the vacancies will be on site, meaning that selected interns will have to work at the duty station where the position is based.
Selected candidates will receive a monthly stipend, personalized guidance on how to access international careers, as well as information about the recruitment process and support drafting CVs and Cover Letters; an additional monthly bonus to cover high-speed internet costs and office supplies (for homebased interns) or support to cover the travel and visa costs (for on-site interns).
Other important considerations:
- Candidates should click on the link of each position and apply online using IOM’s e-recruitment system. If you need reasonable accommodation or technical support during the application process, please send an email about your request at reasonableaccomodation@iom.int
- Please carefully read the post descriptions and apply only to the ones that you are most qualified for.
- There are no fees associated with applying to these positions or to any positions at IOM.
- For more information about IOM and its global work towards humane and orderly migration, and about the recruitment process, please visit www.iom.int or our LinkedIn page.
In 2024, the IOM Diversity and Inclusion Internship Programme includes two components, with the aim of increasing diversity in IOM’s workforce and providing career development opportunities to young professionals: one component consists of internship positions open only to nationals of non- and under-represented Member States at IOM, and the second component consists of internship positions open only to candidates who identify as a person with a disability.
