Who can apply?
The GIZ communications internship seeks students in communication studies or a comparable field, from their fourth semester onward, and eligible recent graduates. At the internship’s start, applicants must be enrolled, undertaking training in which an internship is an integral component, or have graduated within the previous six months. Check the timing against the planned 1 January 2027 start, not simply the day you submit an application.
Excellent oral and written German is required, along with knowledge of English. The notice does not describe these two language requirements as identical levels of fluency. Applicants should be comfortable with editorial work, social media and content-management systems. Spanish, Bahasa Indonesia or Portuguese are advantageous, as are video-editing skills and experience with Adobe Creative Cloud.
What will the intern do?
The GIZ communications internship combines editorial production with digital publishing and coordination. The official responsibilities include:
- Creating, correcting and translating short texts, social-media posts and website articles in German and English.
- Supporting LinkedIn and YouTube channels and helping manage an editorial calendar.
- Updating the Alliance for Integrity website using the Weblication content-management system.
- Producing multimedia materials, including podcasts, video clips and infographics.
- Coordinating external providers for graphics, video production and events.
- Helping organise, run and follow up on events in Germany and internationally.
- Supporting stakeholder management, monitoring, administration and daily organisational tasks.
These duties make the position relevant to applicants who can connect writing skills with organised delivery. For instance, preparing a social-media post involves more than drafting text: it may also require checking information, choosing suitable visual material, coordinating approval and meeting a publication deadline. This is practical application guidance based on the advertised work, not a separate employer requirement.
GIZ communications internship pay and practical limitations
The advertised amount is gross, not take-home pay. Do not interpret it as a guaranteed amount remaining after deductions. Before accepting any offer, ask the employer about deductions and the written employment terms that would apply to you.
This is a Bonn-based vacancy. The notice does not establish a work-from-anywhere arrangement, guaranteed visa sponsorship, free accommodation, or travel reimbursement. Applicants should not assume those benefits are included. If you would need immigration permission or relocation support, clarify that with GIZ before making financial commitments.
How to prepare your GIZ communications internship application
- Read the complete official vacancy. Check the reference, dates and eligibility against your own circumstances. An organisation may run several similar internships simultaneously, so the vacancy number is a useful cross-check.
- Check your study or graduation timing. Use your actual dates rather than assuming that “recent graduate” applies. Ask the employer if your situation falls outside the wording of the notice.
- Identify relevant examples. Prepare truthful examples of content you have written, edited or organised. Explain your own contribution clearly if the work was produced by a team.
- Tailor your application. Connect your experience to the advertised tasks. A short, specific example of managing an editorial calendar is more useful than an unsupported claim that you are an excellent communicator.
- Follow the official portal. Use its requested fields and document instructions. The preparation suggestions here are not a claim that GIZ requires a particular attachment or portfolio format.
- Review before submitting. Check dates, spelling, contact details and file readability. Submit early enough to resolve technical problems, and retain any confirmation the portal provides.
Frequently asked questions
Does meeting the minimum criteria guarantee selection?
No. Eligibility allows an application to be considered; it is not an employment offer. Present accurate qualifications and experience without exaggerating your role in previous work.
Should I send private or confidential work samples?
Do not share confidential client, employer or personal information without permission. If a sample is requested, use material you are entitled to share, or describe your contribution without exposing protected information.
Can I apply through Opportunities Feed?
No. Opportunities Feed is an independent publisher, not GIZ or a recruitment agent. Applications and questions about selection must go through the employer’s official channels. We cannot guarantee interviews, selection or application outcomes.
