The Organization for the Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Internship Program

The OECD Internship Programme offers undergraduate, master’s, and PhD students a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience in global policy design, economic research, quantitative analysis, and international development alongside experts at the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development.

Who Should Use it:

This resource is designed for current students, spanning undergraduate seniors, master’s candidates, and PhD researchers, studying Economics, Public Policy, International Relations, Political Science, Finance, Law, Environmental Studies, Statistics, or Data Science. It is ideal if you are looking to gain high-level global policy experience, build an international professional network, and apply your analytical research skills on a worldwide stage.

How to Use it:
  • Verify Student Enrolment Status: Ensure you will remain enrolled in a full-time degree program at Binghamton for the full duration of your intended internship (1 to 6 months).

  • Highlight Language & Quantitative Skills: Tailor your application to showcase proficiency in English or French (OECD’s official languages) alongside your analytical, research, writing, or IT capabilities.
  • Target Specific Directorates: Align your resume and cover letter to specific OECD focus areas, such as climate action, digital economy, governance, tax policy, or education.

The OECD Internship Programme allows you to apply what you’re learning in the classroom to real-world global policy challenges, giving you impressive portfolio experience, a monthly living stipend, and connections to international leaders that can launch your career in public service, think tanks, or the global private sector.
