The EIIL is constantly seeking new talents (students or recent graduates) available to work at least 20 hours a week for a period of 3 to 6 months. Days and schedules are flexible; extensive remote working is possible. This internship will suit self-starters and candidates eager to learn.
- Candidates should have the knowledge, experience, and interest in mass communications, content creation, and management, with design, social media, and video skills.
- Familiarity with online event promotion, web marketing strategies would be an advantage.
- Actual work, and workload, would be determined based on interest, availability, and capability of the intern as well as EIIL needs.
Far from a “coffee and copy managing” internship, the EIIL is willing to give its interns meaningful assignments, tasks, and real responsibility. Our philosophy: you learn best by doing.
The intern should be able to work without direct supervision. They would be expected to contribute their own skills and creativity to the best of their ability, under task and process direction from the ‘owners’ of the various projects about which they would be communicating.
Regular virtual meetings will be organized during the week to ensure sufficient guidance is provided by the EIIL project owners and/or Executive Director to ensure contributions from the intern are in line with our communications strategy.
Compensation would be determined based on availability and capability of the intern as well as EIIL needs. The compensation offered would be under the Belgian ‘convention d’immersion professionnelle’ recognising the training nature of the role.
Candidates are encouraged to seek financial support from the Erasmus+ programme. Please follow this link.
EIIL interns would additionally receive personal and professional skill development through routine and ad hoc team meetings and individual coaching and would benefit from access to EIIL workshops and a range of personal one-to-one ‘lecturettes’ as needs or interests arise. The EIIL is a learning organization and ensures that every intern has learning aims and a personal development plan.
The position offers the experience of working in a non-profit association whose members are global industrial multi-national companies and with whom the EIIL has contacts at the highest levels. Opportunities have been arranged for previous interns to meet with seniors in these companies and visit appropriate departments to experience where their areas of expertise and interest are applied.
Start depends on candidates’ availability.
There will be 2 days of orientation activities during the first month.
A successful applicant would be expected to attend an Ent-Ex workshop (www.ent-ex.eu).
