Frequently Ask Question

Got Questions?

How can I join The ASEAN Foundation?

There are two main ways to join the ASEAN Foundation: by applying for staff or consultant positions, or through our internship programme. Recruitment opportunities are usually announced when new programmes begin and roles become available.

Yes! Our internship programme is one of our flagship educational initiatives. While unpaid, it offers meaningful experience in regional development and non-profit work. We welcome diploma students, master’s students, and recent graduates from all ASEAN Member States and ASEAN’s Dialogue Partner countries. Internships are available year-round, with recruitment held on a quarterly basis.

Staff and consultant recruitment typically moves quickly to meet programme timelines. After a one- to three-week application period, shortlisted candidates are invited to interviews (usually conducted online) and are asked to complete a written test. Some roles begin with the test before the interview stage. The entire process usually takes between one to three months. Intern recruitment follows a similar format, though with a slightly more flexible timeline. Due to the high volume of applications, only shortlisted candidates will be contacted by our HR team for both roles.

Three decades after ASEAN was established, ASEAN leaders recognised that there remained inadequate shared prosperity, ASEAN awareness and contact among the people of ASEAN. It was of this concern that ASEAN leaders established ASEAN Foundation in Jakarta, Indonesia, at ASEAN’s 30th Anniversary Summit in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on 15 December 1997.
