Are you thinking about interning or working for an NGO in Geneva?

NGO Career Days is our largest career event of the 2024 autumn semester, with 25 organisations present from a variety of sectors including environmental sustainability, peacebuilding, humanitarian aid, security, global health, law, research, human rights, and others.

It's an exciting opportunity to meet face-to-face with future employers and learn about the NGO-sphere in Geneva. Even if you're not looking for an internship or job right now, it's a great opportunity to discover new organisations you haven't heard of before and to strategise for applications you may send out next semester or next year.

The event will run on 21 and 22 October from 10:00 to 16:00 each day. Each NGO will have a booth in La Maison de la paix, Petale 2, where students and NGO staff can talk freely about internships and careers.

It is open to students and alumni of the Geneva Graduate Institute and the Geneva Academy.
