Good to know

+Unambiguously rolling and verifiable, with a live vacancy on the OECD's careers portal, so the apply link actually goes somewhere you can act on today
+Eligibility is concrete: enrolled in a full-time accredited degree programme for the whole internship, available for a minimum of one month, excellent English or French plus working knowledge of the other
+Terms are named precisely: one to six months renewable up to twelve, 40 hours a week, 1,000 euros per full calendar month in Paris, and 2.5 days of annual leave per month beyond two months
+The selection process is published as four named stages
+Unusually good self-service material: an on-page eligibility tester, a brochure and a 43-question FAQ, plus remote and hybrid options
+The OECD will help with immigration: their visa team assists selected interns
+No upper age limit; eligibility is keyed to degree enrolment

Worth checking yourself

!It is not a paid internship. Interns do not receive a salary, only a 1,000 euro monthly contribution to living expenses, which does not cover living in Paris for a 40-hour week
!The OECD covers nothing else: no accommodation, no travel reimbursement, no public transport, and interns must provide their own proof of medical insurance
!Nationality is a soft but real filter: internships are primarily allocated to OECD member country nationals. No quota or odds are published
!Slow: the selection process can take up to three months
!You cannot write in speculatively. The OECD does not accept spontaneous applications
!Online-only or non-degree study does not qualify
!oecd.org sits behind Cloudflare. Plain fetch returned 403 and agent-browser was blocked; only a real browser got through
