Names will not be maintained on the roster for longer than one year. Contractual Terms and Conditions: Paid interns receive a daily allowance of CHF 60 (including week-ends and official holidays falling within the selected period). No other remuneration of any kind shall be paid. Internships take place in Geneva, Switzerland only. Travel expenses to and from Geneva cannot be paid by the WTO, and such travel is not covered by the Organization's insurance. Interns are also responsible for their own insurance cover for illness and accidents while they are working at the WTO. The WTO may also employ unpaid interns funded from external sources. Internships are generally of a duration of up to 24 weeks, the length of the internship depending on the project the interns is requested to work on, and on the needs of each Division. The granting of an internship does not entail in any way the right to an extension thereof nor to a vacancy in another part of the Secretariat. Interns may nevertheless apply to external vacancies. Internships can start at any time during the year. An internship can be terminated by the WTO Secretariat or by the intern with one week's notice. The Director responsible for an intern will write an evaluation report at the end of the internship, and the intern will also be required to evaluate the internship. Both evaluations will be placed on file. An agreement will be established between the intern and the Director of the Human Resources Division, specifying the conditions of service and details of any remuneration. Interns are treated like secretariat staff members during their stay insofar as their obligations, in particular with regard to confidentiality. | ||
