SETA Brussels limits the number of interns to twelve. After the interviews, eight interns will be accepted on an unpaid basis and four will be paid. Interns who complete the internship program successfully will get a certificate.

When is the internship? What are the working hours and when is the deadline for the application?

The internship program will be between May and September 2019; it will last four months. If the interns face any problems concerning their visa or other unforeseen circumstances, they can join the internship program at a later date upon agreement with SETA Brussels. Unpaid interns are expected to work part-time in the office; paid interns will work full-time in the office during working hours (weekdays only).
