Assignments vary greatly in terms of content. Every attempt is made

Internship assignments vary in length according to the availability and
academic requirements of the intern, as well as the needs of UNDP
Moldova.
UNDP provides opportunities for a small group of
outstanding university students to undertake an internship at the UNDP
office in Moldova. The objective of the Internship Programme is to
provide UNDP Moldova with assistance of qualified students specialized
in various professional fields. The Internship Programme provides a
compact understanding of UNDP' s development policies, thematic
priorities, and technical cooperation activities. Internships are
designed to complement development-oriented studies with practical
experience in various aspects of multilateral technical cooperation, but
also complement other international studies.
Interns specialize
in the areas of: public relations/communications, sustainable
development, democratic governance and peacebuilding, climate and
disaster resilience, human rights, gender, combating HIV/AIDS, promoting
civic engagement and Sustainable Development Goals. During internship
they acquire practical experience in various aspects of project
management in an international work environment.
Duration of internship:
The
duration of an internship assignment varies in length according to the
availability and academic requirements of the intern, as well as the
needs of UNDP. Assignments are available for the period of minimum 6
weeks to a maximum of 6 months.
Financial issues:
UNDP
Moldova does not provide financial support to interns. The costs
associated with the internship must be borne by any sponsoring
institutions or by the student, who will have to obtain financing for
subsistence and will have to make his/her own arrangements for
accommodation, travel, etc.
Health and Medical Insurance:
UNDP
accepts no responsibility for the medical and life insurance of the
intern or costs arising from accidents and illness incurred during an
internship. Applicants for internship must therefore carry adequate and
regular medical insurance. Proof of medical coverage/visa must be
provided before the internship starts.
Further career opportunities
The
purpose of internships is not to lead to further employment with UNDP
Moldova but, as mentioned, to complement a student’s studies. Interns
wishing to be considered for employment with the UNDP Moldova, even if
otherwise fully qualified, are not eligible for consideration for
employment during their internship.
