Internships
The purpose of an internship is to enable the intern to acquire the practical work experience they need to complement a course of academic study.
In Geneva, internships are subject to the minimum wage, with the exception of internships undertaken as part of a recognized academic or school training program, a professional training program or a socio-professional integration program meeting the conditions set by the Conseil de surveillance du marché de l’emploi (CSME) (art. 56E RIRT).
According to Swiss law (Labour Code and Accident Insurance Act), interns enjoy the same rights as permanent employees.
CAGI Recruitment Platform
The CAGI Recruitment Platform displays jobs, internships and voluntary positions offered by Geneva-based NGOs as well as local contracts offered by Permanent Missions and Delegations.
