Interns can be recruited for a minimum period of two months and a maximum of six months. The repeated use of the same intern beyond the six-month period, albeit for different functions is not encouraged but is allowed provided the intern applies to the different job opening in another department or office and still meets the requirements.
Interns are not eligible to apply for, or be appointed to, posts in the Professional and above category or FS-6/7 levels for a period of six months following the end of the internship. This restriction was put in place by the General Assembly and therefore, the head of entity cannot approve a waiver under their authority to approve exceptions to Administrative Instructions.
