Internship availability status

The DFFE call for applications into the 24-month Internship Programme have closed. No late applications will be accepted. Therefore the information provided below is for advisory purposes only, for interested and affected parties to familiarise with the criteria applied by the DFFE in this programme.

The Internship Programme is advertised through the national newspapers, this website and the DFFE social media platforms once a new call for applications has been initiated.

DFFE is an equal opportunity, affirmative action employer. It is our intention to promote representativity (race, gender and disability). Persons living with disability are therefore encouraged to apply. Eligible candidates must have completed at least a three (3) year formal qualification from a recognised higher education institution in the fields of study listed below.
