The fourth edition of the joint Internship Programme of the European Union and the Government of the Republic of Moldova – a unique opportunity for young people to get first-hand experience in the country’s state institutions under the mentorship of EU High Level Advisers – was officially launched today in the State University of Moldova.
Students, master students, and recent graduates can spend two summer months working hand in hand with civil servants and EU experts, exploring what public administration means. Interns will receive a monthly allowance of 200Euro, funded by the European Union.
The Programme was presented by the EU Ambassador Jānis Mazeiks and the State Secretary of the Government Ana Calinici, who shared their motivating career stories. The event was also marked by a festive signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between the Government, the Rectors’ Council, and the EU-funded project ‘Moldova is Europe – Support for EU Integration’.

In order to become an intern within the Programme, aspiring candidates submit a CV and motivation letter to stagii@eu4moldova.eu by 20 May. The short-listed candidates who meet the requirements will be invited to an interview, where members of the Selection Committee (representatives of the Government, the EU Delegation to Moldova, and EU High Level Advisers) will select the most knowledgeable and motivated young people. A detailed regulation of the Programme is available at www.eu4moldova.eu/support-for-eu-integration/#internship.
At the end of the Internship, graduates will receive certificates attesting to their participation in the programme. Moreover, a graduate can benefit from the opportunity of getting employed in the civil service without competition and a testing period: for this, s/he should undergo one more month of internship and apply for a position in the same subdivision.
