How will the internship be structured?
Our internship program consists of two stages—volunteer and paid—during which interns will receive regular tasks from their mentor. Program participants will have the opportunity to work part-time in our office located in the center of Kyiv.
The internship will begin with a two-day training session, during which participants will be introduced to the organization’s key areas of activity. Interns will then be required to complete 12 days of practical tasks across any department they choose. Based on the results of the previous stages, the coordinator will determine the professional development path for the intern over the following 4 weeks.
Following this, interns will be evaluated, and the most skilled will have the opportunity to undertake a 12-week paid internship. At this stage, interns will be expected to demonstrate improved performance, with tasks becoming more complex.
At the end of the internship, participants who demonstrate their potential will have the opportunity to receive either a job offer for an available position within the organization or detailed career advice from our HR team.
What do we expect from candidates?
- incomplete (4th-6th year) or completed higher education
- interest in fighting corruption
- ability to learn quickly and adapt to new situations
- excellent written and oral communication skills
- fluency in Ukrainian and English, at least at an Upper-Intermediate level
- a strong sense of justice and zero tolerance for corruption.
