The Intern Network

Connecting current NATO interns, alumni working within NATO or elsewhere, and students interested in a NATO internship.

A network that continues beyond your internship

The Intern Network brings together people whose paths meet through NATO. It is a chance to get to know fellow interns, stay connected after an internship and exchange experiences across different stages of professional life.

Current NATO interns

Connect with interns across NATO headquarters and bodies, exchange experiences and build relationships beyond your own office.

Intern alumni

Stay part of the community whether you now work within NATO or pursue a career elsewhere. Share your professional perspective, reconnect with former colleagues and help the next generation find its feet.

Students and prospective interns

Learn about NATO internships, hear from people who have taken that step and find official information to help you prepare an application.
