IATA Internships incorporate talented, innovative and motivated individuals, fresh from academic training, into the IATA working environment. Each intern has significant opportunities to demonstrate skills as well as  to learn and develop in an international business environment.

Internships at IATA are available in two programs:
    * International Graduate Internship Program (IGIP) - full-time opportunity for recent university graduates
    * Undergraduate Internship Program (UIP) - part-time opportunity for current undergraduate students

1.International Graduate Internship Program (IGIP)
IATA strives to attract the very best and brightest recent graduates from around the world. These interns are exposed to the unique challenges faced by IATA and contribute to our work in supporting our members and our industry by performing junior professional tasks.

Qualifications required
Candidates for the IGIP must possess the following basic qualifications:

    * University degree:  Candidates must have a university degree (Bachelor degree as a minimum). The degree must have been achieved within the last 12 months.
    * Fields of study: Economics, Law, Political Science, Engineering (particularly Aeronautical Engineering), Business Administration (particularly Aviation/Airline Management) or Information Technology.  Other areas may be considered if relevant to the specific internship.  
    * Language requirements: Excellent spoken and written English. Fluency in other major languages is always considered a plus.

Assignments
The IGIP opportunities cover all areas of IATA activities. The internships may be based out of our Geneva, Montreal, Madrid, Miami or Singapore offices. Interns perform junior professional tasks with the following features:

    * a specific goal/objective
    * a sound business justification for IATA
    * a clear learning dimension for the intern

All IGIP interns have IATA managers as their mentors. These mentors serve as the primary supervisor as well as the main guide for individual development during the internship.
