About this opportunity
Unpaid internship in Ethiopia (2026) for undergraduates, graduates, or recent graduates. AU assists with visa process.
African Union Internship Programme 2026 offers a hands-on opportunity for students from African Union member states to gain professional experience in a diverse, multicultural environment.

The programme emphasizes skill development, teamwork, and exposure to continental governance, with a focus on research, administrative support, and technical assistance in key policy areas. Interns must be final-year students or recent graduates with fluency in one of the AU’s working languages (Arabic, English, French, or Portuguese) and under 32 years old. No prior work experience is required, but proficiency in Microsoft Office and strong communication skills are essential.
