2022 World Trade Organization Internships for Young Graduates.

The 2022 World Trade Organization Internships under the directorship of Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala have now opened applications for interested and qualified graduates all over the world.

The internship which provides a daily allowance of CHF 60 ($62 – totaling $1860/month) to the candidates, aims to give young graduates the skills and experience to work in the WTO. The recruitment policy of the WTO is to seek to attract and retain staff members offering the highest standards of competence, efficiency and integrity.

The World Trade Organization is an intergovernmental organization that regulates and facilitates international trade. Governments use the organization to establish, revise, and enforce the rules that govern international trade. The WTO is the world’s largest international economic organization, with 164 member states representing over 98% of global trade and global GDP.
