nternship opportunities are offered to undergraduate and graduate students and are intended to increase the intern's understanding of current human rights issues at the international level. Interns are offered the opportunity to apply what has been learned in the classroom to bridge the gap between human rights theory and practice. Interns receive individualized supervision and have the opportunity to work on specialized long-term projects. Interns will research human rights issues, draft analytical papers and reports, coordinate meetings, fact-finding, clerical support and depending on the exigencies of the Office other duties as assigned.
As part of the internship program, the UNESCO Chair will interview the individual prior to the start of the internship, will review application materials, and assess his or her abilities and career plans, in an attempt to tailor the internship to suite the individual’s academic and professional interests. While gaining professional and academic experience, interns are an integral part of our volunteer base.
