When is the application deadline?

Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis. We remove positions as they are filled, so if a position is still posted in our internship application system that means application is still open. For 2024 internships, opened the application on January 15 and will continue to accept applications until all of the positions are filled. 

For internships at other times of year there is no specific deadline; please apply 3-4 months before you hope to start your internship to allow enough time for all arrangements to be made.

Other

• Unless otherwise specified, the working language for these internships will be English; if knowledge of Mandarin is required it is noted in the Job Description / Qualifications.
• Unless otherwise specified in your offer, interns are responsible for travel expenses to and from ITRI’s Taiwan campuses.
• ITRI will obtain work (internship) permission for accepted interns, who must then obtain ROC visas from the nearest Taiwan Economic and Cultural Office before departing their home country.

For ROC citizens

If you are an ROC citizen who does not hold any foreign passport, you are not eligible for the International Internship Program positions on this website. For those who hold only ROC citizenship, ITRI does offer internships, but this is handled separately by each department. If you are interested, please send your CV/resume to talent AT itri.org.tw, with a brief message indicating which department(s) are of interest to you.

Foreign males of Taiwanese descent, between ages 18 and 40 (inclusive), and carrying foreign passports are not advised to stay in Taiwan for more than four months. If you participate in this program and decide to arrive earlier or leave later than the scheduled program dates, the total length of your stay in Taiwan should not exceed four months to avoid conscription problems. For more details on military service, please check with your nearest ROC embassy, consulate or representative office, or with the Ministry of the Interior.
