Applications are open for the NATO Internship Programme .

NATO provides six-month internship opportunities for students in their third year of undergraduate studies as well as for individuals who have recently completed a bachelor’s or master’s degree.

These internships span a wide array of disciplines, offering hands-on experience in fields such as political and security affairs, innovation, communications, operations, human resources, finance, science and technology, infrastructure, and business support.

All internships are based at NATO Headquarters in Brussels, Belgium—a vibrant, international city known for hosting numerous European and global organizations, making it a dynamic hub for networking and professional growth.

This programme provides a unique chance to engage with the NATO community, offering valuable practical experience and deeper insights into how the Alliance functions.

Goals of the Programme

• To benefit NATO by integrating fresh academic knowledge and technical skills into its operations through the interns’ contributions.

• To support greater workforce diversity within NATO.

• To promote awareness and understanding of NATO’s mission among citizens of member countries.

Interns may be placed within the International Staff, International Military Staff, or various NATO agencies and bodies operating at headquarters.
