Internships

We do not offer internships in the field

MSF is happy to take on interns in the following three cases:

  • Compulsory or optional work placements as part of a course leading to a diploma.
  • Work placements undertaken after completion of an initial course of study (Bachelor’s degree, apprenticeship (CFC), vocational baccalaureate, etc.) to help interns choose a further course of study (Master’s degree, Bachelor's degree, etc.), subject to the relevance of the training being approved by the teaching establishment organising the next course.
  • Work placements to facilitate interns’ entry into the labour market or help with social reintegration, within the framework of an official federal or cantonal scheme.

In all these cases, a tripartite internship agreement (between the teaching establishment, the intern and MSF) must be signed.

You can find more information on the website of the Canton of Geneva.
