Graduation internship in the public sector

At Ignite Group, we understand that a graduation internship is not just a crucial step in an academic journey, but also an opportunity to create real change. That is why we offer the chance to engage in an inspiring research adventure that aligns with your interests and expertise.

At the start of your graduation internship, we will collaboratively formulate an intriguing research question. Your interests, current developments, and field of study will serve as the building blocks for this question, ensuring a perfect match. During your internship, you will immerse yourself in in-depth research that has a real impact

We are thinking, for example, about:

• Research on optimizing government regulations to enhance implementability and comprehensibility.
• Research on how municipalities can restructure outgoing grants.
• Research on the optimal process for integrating external funding streams within the organization.

If you have any other ideas, we would love to hear them!

• You are currently pursuing a relevant HBO or WO degree, such as Public Administration, Public Sciences, Business Administration, Political Science, or European Studies.
• An affinity for issues related to government policy, regulations, and process optimization.
• Strong analytical skills and the ability to conduct in-depth research.
• Capable of working independently, taking initiative, and maintaining a proactive attitude.
• Excellent written and communication skills.
• Willing to come to our friendly office in Venlo (flexible working options available).
