Are you passionate about helping to shape a better world? Are you hungry to put your classroom learning to work and gain real world knowledge and skills? Do you want to work in an international team in an inspiring environment? Apply for an internship with Salzburg Global Seminar !
Salzburg Global Seminar is an independent non-profit organization founded in 1947 to challenge current and future leaders to shape a better world. Their multi-year programs aim to bridge divides, expand collaboration and transform systems. For nearly three decades, they have offered talented students and young graduates the opportunity to work at Salzburg Global Seminar and live at Schloss Leopoldskron through their Internship Program.
Their interns are selected from across the world in a highly competitive process. While undergraduates who have completed at least three years of accredited study may apply, preference is given to recent college graduates or to those in early-stage graduate studies whose interests and skills align well with Salzburg Global's programs and activities.
Salzburg Global Seminar offers a number of three-month internship programs (non-accredited), which allow interns to not only enhance their skills and knowledge, but also access its impressive network of Salzburg Global Fellows. They make every effort to select a diverse group of interns and to align their general and specific assignments to maximize both the learning experience interns receive and the contribution they can make.
Benefits
While the internships are unpaid, Salzburg Global does provide interns with free room and board at Schloss Leopoldskron, travel from and return to the intern's country of residence, insurance, and visa processing assistance.
