OUR MISSION CONNECTING THE UN WITH THE PEOPLE IT SERVES

NURTURING THE NEXTGENERATION OF UN OFFICIALSUNIC offers internship opportunities to students with a strong interest in a career in international affairs. Each term, UNIC selects students from around the globe to join the office for an average period of three months. UNIC also organizes a weekly seminar for students serving as interns in the UN system in Washington. The seminars expose students to the full range of work being done by the UN and serves as a networking and career development tool. UNIC regularly participates in career fairs offered by universities and schools in the Washington area (DC, Maryland, Virginia) and beyond (upon request) to students on the UN. Contact us if you wish for UNIC to participate in your next career event.
