The awareness campaign on internship opportunities for youth reaches Balti: Prime Minister Munteanu encourages young people to apply
The nationwide awareness campaign for the fifth edition of the Joint Internship Programme of the European Union and the Government of the Republic of Moldova reached the north of the country on 7 May. Over 160 students of the ‘Alecu Russo’ Bălți State University learned about the conditions to apply for paid internship opportunities in Moldova’s state institutions and the benefits that come with them.
The speakers of the event, Alexandru Munteanu, Prime Minister of the Republic of Moldova, Martina Spernbauer, Team Leader for Governance at the EU Delegation shared their professional journeys and perspectives on what it means to work in public administration and encouraged through their examples the young people to apply for the Internship programme.
Students, master’s students and recent graduates up to 30 years old can apply to spend two summer months working inside Moldova’s central public institutions. Each intern receives a monthly allowance of 250 Euro, funded by the European Union and Denmark. Graduates who complete an additional third month of internship in the same institution may apply for a civil service position there without competition and without a testing period — a benefit granted by the legal framework in the field of internships.
To apply: Submit a CV and motivation letter to stagii@eu4moldova.eu by 15 May 2026. Shortlisted candidates will be invited for an interview with a Committee composed of national and international officials.
The internship runs 1 July – 28 August 2026, full-time, with physical presence in a central public institution. Certificates will be awarded after the completion of the programme. Full details and the programme regulation are available at: www.eu4moldova.eu/support-for-eu-integration/#internship
Over 200 students took part in the previous four editions of the Programme, many of them now employed in the civil service. The nationwide awareness campaign for this year’s EU-Moldova Internship Programme continues with a dedicated online session for young Moldovans in the diaspora on 14 May.
The Internship Programme is taking place in the framework of the EU- and Denmark- funded project ”Moldova is Europe – Support for EU Integration”.
