Introduction

At the European Cultural Foundation (ECF) we want to provide (online) work experience for the future generation of culture and philanthropy professionals. At the same time, we want to get in touch with new talent and fresh perspectives on our work.

To achieve this, we offer two kinds of internships (orientation internships of 4-6 weeks and work experience or research internships of 4-6 months), targeted towards students and recent graduates (qualified within the past 6 months) of different vocational and educational backgrounds, including non-university students. We will be able to provide an internship for 4 to 6 interns yearly, and we undertake to offer a transparent and fair recruitment process.

What do we offer?
Internships in 4 different areas of work:

• Communications
•  Programmes
• Public Policy
• Internal Organisation (HR/ Finance/ Facilities/ Reception/ Secretariat)

You work either 3 or 4 days/ week and receive a monthly payment of EUR 450,- gross for a 3-day workweek and EUR 600,- gross for 4 days, plus an internet and phone allowance of EUR 40.

Internships will be organised in a ‘hybrid’ format, partially working from home and partially in the office. For interns outside the Netherlands, we will organise and fund incidental visits to the office in Amsterdam.

You have an assigned internship mentor at ECF.
