Growing with the ASEAN Foundation
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.
Does The ASEAN Foundation offer internships?
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.
What is the recruitment process like?
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.
Available Opportunities
At The ASEAN Foundation, we’re always looking for passionate and talented individuals who want to make a difference. We value diverse skills and perspectives, and we welcome those eager to contribute to positive change.
