Internships with T&E
Some basic information:
T&E does not expect to have internship vacancies before April 2004.
Interns, or stagiaires, can come from almost any discipline,
though ideally s/he would come from a background which is of direct relevance
to our work.
The ability to speak, read and write English
is crucial: other languages are a bonus.
As T&E has a fairly small office in
Internships last 3-9 months, we prefer 6.
The exact nature of the work which the stagiaire will do depends
heavily on two interactive factors: the stagiaire and her/his qualifications
and interests; and the work in which T&E is
engaged at the time s/he is with us. No two internships are alike.
A stagiaire will do a range of activities while with T&E. The
work is split into two parts: policy-related work on the basis of interests,
abilities and opportunities; and some help with organisational/administrative
work.
Important: Given our stringent budget constraints, we are
unfortunately unable to pay stagiaires.
It is important to us that an internship with T&E is a
valuable experience for both parties. This means that our goals and aims should
be furthered through the work the stagiaire does while s/he is able to grow
professionally, maximising the benefit gained from being with us. For this
reason, we start off by developing a work-programme, to give clear structure to
stagiaires’ time with us (although naturally it remains flexible).
Interested?
If you are interested in a stage at T&E, please send an e-mail
to Stephanos Anastasiadis - stephanos.anastasiadis@t-e.nu, including your CV
and a short letter explaining your motivation.
Please mention clearly in your job
application letter that you learned of this job opportunity through DEVJOBS,
