UN Women Communications Internship for Social Media Outreach In USA

Internship
programme

The UN Women
Internship Programme offers a small group of outstanding students the
opportunity to acquire direct exposure to UN Women’s work. It is designed to
complement women’s development-oriented studies with practical experience in
various aspects of multilateral technical cooperation, but also complements
other international studies, including law. We accept students currently
enrolled in a master’s, post-master’s or doctor
ate programme, or in the final
year of a bachelor’s programme as well as recent graduates (maximum one year
after graduation).

Internship
assignments vary greatly in terms of content. They may have a country-specific,
regional, sectoral, or thematic focus. However, interns are normally involved
in some aspect of the design, implementation and evaluation of UN
Women–supported programmes and projects. Every attempt is made to match the
interests of the intern with the needs of the organization.

Internship
assignments vary in length, between two and six months, according to the
availability and academic requirements of the intern, as well as the needs of
UN Women. Assignments are available on a part-time and full-time basis
throughout the year.

UN Women does not
pay for internships. The costs associated with internships must be borne by the
nominating institution, related institution or government, which may provide
the required financial assistance to its students; or by the student, who will
have to obtain financing for subsistence and make his or her own arrangements
for travel, accommodation, etc.

Interested
candidates should complete an application-agreementform, provide two letters of recommendation, proof of health
insurance, proof of school enrolment or graduation, and a scanned copy of
his/her passport and visa (if applicable).
