The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) is looking for talented, motivated and passionate individuals from around the world who bring knowledge, innovative thinking, and different ideas to enhance UNHCR's capacity to support people forced to flee. This Internship Program offers eligible students and recent graduates the opportunity to gain experience in the humanitarian sector in line with their academic program and future career aspirations. Internships are offered at various locations, including UNHCR headquarters in Geneva, the Global Service Centres in Amman, Budapest and Copenhagen, or in field country offices. Subject to approval of their managers, interns may telework within or outside of the country of duty station. Internships are made available based on the needs of offices and their capacity to receive and supervise interns and provide them with meaningful assignments. Interns who do not receive financial support from an outside party will receive an allowance to partially help support costs related to food, local transportation and living expenses. Unless provided or paid by their sponsoring entities, UNHCR will also reimburse interns engaged from a location outside the country of the duty station for return travel costs to/from the duty station by the most economical route available irrespective of the duration of the journey. It is the intern's responsibility to arrange for a visa and medical insurance. UNHCR can provide support with the required visa documents, but accepts no responsibility for any costs connected to medical insurance of interns. Internships can begin at any time during the year and normally lasts two to six months with the possibility of extension up to eight months. Note that applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. As such, interested applicants are encouraged to check each position for application deadlines.
