ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Internships take place in Geneva, Switzerland. Travel expenses to and from Geneva cannot be paid by the WTO (Except for old China's LDCs, Accessions and General Internship Programme and for the WTO Support Programme for Doctoral Studies), and such travel is not covered by the Organisation's insurance. Interns are responsible for their own insurance cover for illness and accidents for the duration of the internship.
Internships are for a minimum of three months and up to a maximum of six months in total, with no extension, and are dependent on the needs of Divisions, and may commence at any time during the year. Depending on Divisional needs, an internship may be split between two Divisions (3 months and no less in each Division and not exceeding six months in total). In this case, the two internship assignments may be carried out at different times and not consecutively, as long as the applicant meets all the requirements for the internship as per the "Eligibility" criteria set out above. It is not permissible to return to the programme at a later date after completing a full six-month internship programme, nor is it permissible to move from one programme to another following a six-month stint. An internship does not, in any way, entail the right to a vacancy in another part of the Secretariat. Interns may, nevertheless, apply to external vacancies.
While working at the WTO, interns are not considered as officials or staff members; however, they shall be bound by the same duties and obligations as regular staff members. Interns are expected to work full-time and to carry out the duties assigned to them by their supervisor.
On commencing the internship, and as applicable, depending on their nationality and any Swiss residence permit they may hold, interns may be issued with a Swiss legitimation card type "H" which serves as a work and residence permit for the duration of their internship. This link explains the responsibilities of holders of such a card, and careful note should be taken of the information provided therein.
