Intern, Decent Work in Supply Chains

চাকরির বিবরণ

The ILO internship programme gives talented individuals practical experience directly related to their field of study. This six-month internship (vacancy no. Intern/Dhaka/2026/01) is hosted by the Decent Work in Supply Chains team under the Advancing Decent Work in Bangladesh (ADWIB) project at ILO CO-Dhaka. The intern works closely with the Responsible Business Conduct (RBC) Cell at the Ministry of Commerce, supporting multi-stakeholder coordination and evidence-gathering across priority supply chains such as leather, aquaculture and plastics, as Bangladesh prepares for LDC graduation. The intern is closely supervised and mentored, and receives a monthly stipend from the ILO based on cost of living at the duty station unless funded by another institution. Applicants must have no close relative serving in the ILO and must not have done an ILO internship before. A cover letter is mandatory.
