Join us at NATO Communications & Information Agency and immerse yourself in the diverse environment of an international organization, where your knowledge and fresh perspective will be truly valued. You will have the opportunity to work with colleagues from the NATO 30 member states and collaborate on ground-breaking projects.
We are NATO’s technology and cyber leaders, helping NATO Nations to communicate and work together in smarter ways. We are on the frontlines against cyber-attacks and in the midst of a fundamental transformation to exploit technology to better perform its mission: we are leading NATO's digital endeavour.
Through our internship programme, we aim to bring new innovative ideas into the Alliance. You will get a first-hand look at the inner workings of an international tech organisation, while adding valuable skills and experience to your CV.
If you live outside the Agency's main locations, you should still consider applying. Working outside of your own country will set you apart from your peers and can lay the foundation to an international career.
