The French Business Council Dubai and Northern Emirates and Business France are jointly organizing an event to promote the V.I.E (International Business Volunteering) program, which will be followed by the success stories of VIEs in the region.

[Translate to Anglais:]

Being an International Intern means travelling overseas to carry out a professional assignment while benefiting from social welfare thanks to the public status of the intern.

The intern is under the authority of the French Embassy.

6- to 24-month assignments can be carried out:

  •   in a company,  
  • within a French public or quasi-public organisation attached to the Ministry for Foreign Affairs and International Development or the Ministry of Economy, 
  • in a local foreign public organisation (e.g. a research centre or university), 
  • with an international organisation or accredited association. 

The International Intern is not a volunteer.

Interns receive a monthly allowance, which varies depending on the assignment country, but which does not depend on the intern’s level of qualifications.

The programme is mainly intended for students, young graduates and job seekers aged between 18 and 28; the French Intentional Internship Programme is a valuable professional experience and a real springboard for those looking for an international career.

All types of jobs are covered:  

  •   in companies: finance, marketing, international trade, management control, accounting, mechanics, electronics, telecommunications, IT, public works, agronomics, tourism, law, human resources, etc. 
  • in an administration: organising cultural events, teaching, economics, commercial or scientific intelligence, IT, political sciences, law, economics, research, medicine, hospitality (hotels, catering, etc.), etc. 

You must be aged between 18 and 28 years of age and have fully complied with any national service obligations in your country of origin. But first and foremost, you must be highly motivated and enjoy taking initiative.
