About the Internship Program
The ILO is offering eight fully paid internships for candidates who self-identify as persons with disabilities. These roles are based in various ILO offices and departments and give interns the opportunity to participate in meaningful projects that directly support the ILO’s mission.
Interns will be part of global teams working on labor rights, workplace equity, disability inclusion, and sustainable employment initiatives.
