Fomento de San Sebastian, the economic development agency for the city of San Sebastian, is launching a new edition of the Internationalisation Grant Programme for local young graduates to do an internship at an international organization.

The programme consists of grants addressed to university graduates or higher training diploma holders under 30, for an internship of at least eight months at an international organization.

The ultimate goal is to enhance young graduates’ skills through their participation in a specific project, to the benefit of the host organisation headquartered abroad.

All grants are 100% financed by Fomento de San Sebastian and it allows your organization to host an skilled intern for a period of 8 months.

It is an initiative designed to meet the demand among the skilled labour in Donostia-San Sebastian to improve their knowledge, competencies and skills, and to enter the labour market in emerging sectors considered as strategic in Donostia-San Sebastian.
