Internship Eligibility Criteria

• Have the legal right to live and work in The Netherlands or be prepared to obtain the right to follow an internship as part of their study in the Dutch educational institution.

• Not having been in employment with Oxfam Novib previously.

The intern is expected to have a student OV card; however, if this is not the case, a reimbursement of commuting costs will be offered.
