Description:
| The United Nations Office at Vienna (UNOV) and the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) accept unpaid interns on an ad hoc basis. The purpose of the programme is threefold: to provide a framework enabling enrolled university students from diverse academic and national backgrounds to be temporarily attached to UNOV or UNODC; to expose university students to the work of the United Nations and to enrich their educational experience through practical work in an international organization; and to make available to UNOV and UNODC, on a temporary basis, the assistance of qualified and motivated university students. Internships may be in various areas including development planning/analysis, finance and budget, HIV/AIDS, legal affairs, natural science, organized crime, terrorism prevention, and trafficking in human beings.
The normal duration of an internship is two months, which may be extended for an additional two months. The total duration may, exceptionally, be extended to a maximum period of six months. The internship programme is normally on a full-time basis. Interns are expected to work five full days a week in the Division that has selected them, under the supervision of an experienced staff member. Requests for shorter or longer periods will not be considered.
