INTERNSHIP AT GAAEC

 

Positions Open

 

The Greek Association for Atlantic and European Cooperation offers an internship opportunity to Greek and foreign students in our central offices in Athens. Positions are available  for two different Sessions (Fall / Winter each year) for a period of 3 - 6 months. The Sessions available are:

 

- Winter Session starting from the  15th January each year.

- Fall Session starting from the  15th September each year.

 

All applications must be submitted at least 30 days prior to starting date of each session. Under special cirsconstances, the internships can be prolonged.

 

Through this internship program, GAAEC wants to give the intern the opportunity to become familiar with the real-life work conditions of a non-governmental organization and apply the theoretical knowledge acquired in university. In this regard, the interns will actively participate on all organizational aspects of several national & international activities organized by GAAEC. 

 

Areas of Interest

·   Trans-Atlantic Cooperation

·   European Security and Defense Policy

·   Education and the Leaders of Future Generations

·   National-International Development and Humanitarian Aid

·   North and South Dialogue

·   Cooperation with NGO’s for Women

 

Typical Responsibilities

·         Program Assistance:  G.A.A.E.C. runs a wide variety of events and international programs.  Interns are generally asked to provide research assistance to GAAEC’s staff for the organization and coordination of events. Also, they help send out invitations, write summaries, prepare briefing materials, and help set-up the required logistics.


·       Writing & Editing:  Part of an intern's responsibility is to edit and run the GAAEC e-newsletter and website and research and publish articles related to issues of Trans-Atlantic relations, European Security and Defense and Greek Foreign Policy.


·         Administrative and Clerical Duties:  All internships require some photocopying, faxing, filing and other clerical work.  However, the burden of this is not particularly heavy at GAAEC since all staff generally does this work alongside their interns.

 

       Thanks to a special agreement between the Atlantic Council of Canada, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Trade of Canada and GAAEC, the Association hosts since September 2006 a Greek Canadian intern, Mr. George Tsantrizos, for a long-term internship.

 

All applicants should be aware that GAAEC cannot extend any financial support nor accommodation for the interns.
