UNCTAD India Internship Programme

 

The UNCTAD India Internship Programme is offered to students, with a view to promoting a better understanding of trade and development issues and giving them insight into how UNCTAD attempts to find solutions to these problems. The programme can take place any time during the year for a minimum of one month and for a maximum of three months.

There is no vacancy listing for the internship programme. Applications will be reviewed as the need arises. We regret that we will be unable to personally respond to those applicants who are not selected for internship due to the large number of requests we receive. Acceptance of interns is subject to UNCTAD’s substantive need for interns and also subject to the availability of office space. If you have not heard from us one month before the date proposed on your application form, you should assume that we have been unable to match your skills and areas of interest with the work of our project teams and we have therefore been unable to accommodate you as an intern.
