Deadline: Always Open

Applications are constantly open for the International Graduate Internship Program at International Air Transport Association (IATA). IATA Internships incorporate talented, innovative and motivated individuals, fresh from academic training, into the IATA working environment. Each intern has significant opportunities to demonstrate skills as well as to learn and develop in an international business environment.

IATA strives to attract the very best and brightest recent graduates from around the world. These interns are exposed to the unique challenges faced by IATA and contribute to our work in supporting our members and our industry by performing junior professional tasks.

Internships at IATA are available in two programs:

1. International Graduate Internship Program (IGIP) – full-time opportunity for recent university graduates
2. Undergraduate Internship Program (UIP) – part-time opportunity for current undergraduate students

Eligibility for International Graduate Internship Program (IGIP)

Candidates for the IGIP must possess the following basic qualifications:

• University degree: Candidates must have a university degree (Bachelor degree as a minimum). The degree must have been achieved within the last 12 months.
• Fields of study: Economics, Law, Political Science, Engineering (particularly Aeronautical Engineering), Business Administration (particularly Aviation/Airline Management) or Information Technology. Other areas may be considered if relevant to the specific internship.
• Language requirements: Excellent spoken and written English. Fluency in other major languages is always considered a plus.
