Internships at the UNIDO Office in New York

UNIDO’s internship programme is designed to enable appropriately qualified people to gain a better understanding of the Organization’s goals and objectives while contributing to the work of the Organization.  In order for this to occur, interns are expected to serve for a period of approximately 3 months. To read the general information and conditions for the internship programme, please click here. 

Interns in the New York Office will be expected to assist the Office to cover intergovernmental and interagency meetings of relevance to the Organization.  This will involve, for example, taking records of such meetings and drafting reports for transmission to UNIDO Headquarters.  Interns will be expected to develop a good understanding of the key issues that UNIDO is involved in so that they can provide input to the work of the Office.  They will also be expected to assist in the general running of a small office, including through helping arrange UNIDO’s meetings in New York.
