In 1927, the Geneva Graduate Institute was founded alongside the League of Nations to educate and equip the world’s first cohorts of international civil servants. Each year, we aim to reinforce this connection between the international organisations in Geneva and the Institute by offering career fairs that bring the organisations to our campus in the heart of international Geneva.
IO Career Days is an annual two-day event hosted at La Maison de la Paix by the Institute's Career Services in partnership with numerous international organisations (IOs) and United Nations agencies around Geneva. It is our largest career event of the year.
The event is open to students and alumni of the Geneva Graduate Institute and the Geneva Academy of International Humanitarian Law and Human Rights.
Below is the list of 27 participating international organisations. Each is present for only one day.
