Internship: UNICEF (International locations)

The UNICEF Internship Programme

Description:
The UNICEF Internship Programme offers eligible/qualified students at both Headquarters and country offices the opportunity to acquire direct practical experience in UNICEF's work under the direct supervision of experienced UNICEF staff.

Eligibility requirements: 

  • You need to be a currently-enrolled graduate or post-graduate student in a field related to UNICEF’s interests. You must be enrolled during the full duration of the proposed internship period.  At this time we do not accept undergraduates.
  • You should be fluent in English and one other UNICEF working language i.e. French, Spanish, Arabic, Russian or Chinese.  
  • 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. This is only needed when an internship assignment has been offered to you. 
  • Applicants must have a demonstrated interest in the field of international development, particularly in areas of UNICEF priorities.
  • Ability to adapt and work in a multi-cultural setting. 
  • Has strong commitment to the values and principles of the United Nations and UNICEF's mission, guiding principles and Convention on the Rights of the Child. 
  • Additional consideration will be given for any past work experiences. 

There are a limited number of internship opportunities available with our office in Malaysia each year for both undergraduate and post-graduate students. Placement is subject to the needs of the office, and the skills and interests of the intern. Interns are accepted to help in a variety of activities, including research, analysis, marketing, and communications. Interns also assist in general office support and special projects. If you are interested to be considered for intern opportunities, email a letter of interest, a letter of recommendation from your university and a resume to our Operations unit via kualalumpur@unicef.org. 

Due to the large volume of internship applications we receive, only those who are selected for further consideration will be contacted.
