[/QUOTE]
To be considered for an *internship in UNICEF *, you must meet these requirements:
You should be a currently enrolled graduate or post-graduate student in a field related to international or social development, child survival or development or management. You must be enrolled during the proposed internship period. We do not accept undergraduates.
You should be fluent in English and one other UNICEF working language i.e. French or Spanish.
Your academic performance should be excellent, as demonstrated by recent university or institution records.
Your application for an internship should be supported by your university or related institution. A minimum requirement is a letter from one of your professors supporting your application.
Additional consideration will be given for any past work experiences. However, please keep in mind that even if you meet these qualifications, there is no guarantee of placement. We receive many more applications from qualified candidates than we can place. Placement is subject to availability of meaningful assignments and supervisors willing to invest the time in working with an intern.
If I am accepted what kind of work will I be doing?
This will depend on the needs of the office to which you are assigned, your qualifications and interests. If you have specific interests or requirements for your university course, you should include this on the application form. Most interns work on a project or several projects which will benefit both them and UNICEF, such as limited research or studies and creating or improving databases or Web sites.
How long is the programme?
For the internship to be worthwhile and effective, interns will be accepted for a minimum period of 6 weeks and a maximum of 16 weeks. Please note due to the high number of applicants for internships, we will permit only one internship per applicant.
Can I get financial support from UNICEF?
UNICEF does not provide financial support for interns. All successful applicants are expected to make their own arrangements for travel, lodging and living expenses during the internship period.
Do I need to be at the office full-time?
While most of our internships are full time, quite a number are not. How long and how often you work in the office depends on the project and office you are assigned to. Sometimes there are projects that can be done on a part-time basis.
When should I apply?
As the need for interns vary and is on-going throughout the year, we do not have any specific periods or deadlines for applications. If you would like to do an internship within a specific time frame, please e-mail your applications at least 2-3 months in advance and we will try to accommodate your request.
We will contact you if we are able to find you an internship position. If we have not contacted you, you may assume that there is no suitable opening for you at this time.
What is the application procedure?
You will need to complete the following form and e-mail this to Email: [email protected]:
An application form, available in Word 97 or print the PDF version* for the UNICEF Internship Programme. Please note, if you are filling out the PDF version, you will need to scan the document in order to e-mail us your application.
(*The latest version of the Adobe Acrobat Reader allows you to view, navigate and print PDF files. If you do not have the Reader, you can retrieve one for your platform free of charge from Adobe Systems Inc., install it according to the instructions given, and configure it for use with your World Wide Web browser.)
Prepare the following documents which you will need if you are called for an interview and offered a position:
A letter from your university or institution, certifying your enrollment, course of study and expected date of graduation/degree.
Provide a copy of an up-to-date university transcript or equivalent institutional record.
Obtain two letters of recommendation, one of which should be from a college professor.
The application form covers the conditions of the internship. Please note that we cannot consider incomplete applications. One common omission is to not include information about your health insurance and life (accidental death/serious injury) insurance. You cannot be accepted as an intern if you do not have the necessary health and life insurance coverage.
To whom should I apply?
For internships in New York, please e-mail your completed forms to: Email: [email protected]
For internships in all other offices, your application should be sent directly to the head of the office concerned. The Head of Office has the authority to accept qualified interns. Please see list of addresses of UNICEF field offices. You should be aware that many of our offices do not provide internships on a regular basis. They are often working in conditions which preclude the possibility of effectively supervising an intern. For instance, our Croatia office has asked us to inform you that they cannot provide internships.
Should I arrange an interview?
No, if UNICEF wants to interview you, either in person or by phone, we shall contact you. Please do not call us.
Is there anything else I should know?
Employment prospects: The UNICEF internship programme is not connected with employment, and there should be no expectancy of such. Interns cannot apply for posts advertised internally to UNICEF staff during the period of internship.
Publication of Information: No papers or reports may be published based on information obtained from UNICEF during the internship without the explicit written authorisation by the Head of Office or Division Director.
UN Internship Programme: UNICEF's Internship Programme is independent of the United Nations. If you are interested in the UN Internship Programme, write to: Internship Co-ordinator, Recruitment Programmes Section, Room 2500, Office of Personnel Services, United Nations, New York, N.Y. 10017.
humsa, did u pursue applying to the un? what happenned?
No Irem I haven't yet. I've been too busy with my studies and I think I want to get done with my Chartered Accountant designation first. It's not a good idea trying to do many things at the same time. Atleast that's what I learned.
It's still a dream to go into Human Resources someday but let's see. Daddys dream comes first :)
:k:
keep it up n good luck bro
Hehe.........that was somewhat sarcastic :)
Btw, i'm not a bro.
Two things. HRM in the UN is not a P job. It is a G job. So you arent really an officer with diplomatic perks and stuff. You are just secretarial staff. The higher positions at HRM may entail some P status. But i am not sure.
Yeah I know that CM. I'm not really looking for a diplomatic position anyway. I want to be in a managerial position, preferably human resources.
