Intern - Intern World Health Organization Employee Review

As an intern, one does not have the status required to part-take actively in discussions with stakeholders. Moreover, little training is given and tasks related to internship are unclear until you actually take up the job. Then it all depends on what you make out of it and the work connection with your adviser. On the other hand, there's very little chance to land a job or consultancy after the end of the internship (as WHO has a 3 months rule before you are illegible to apply) which doesn't make it worthwhile. I would advise anyone looking for an internship in Geneva to look into: ILO, IOM, IFRC and ICRC (paid internships).
