Internship

UNDP Indonesia is committed to building future leaders. Therefore, our Internship Programme provides a wide range of opportunities for students to gain insight into the work of UNDP. Every year a limited number of places for internships are available. Students from diverse academic backgrounds may be assigned in our office, where their educational experience can be enhanced through practical work assignments. Our staff will guide student to get experience in specialized in various professional fields and enable student to expose themselves in international environment.

To take part in the programme, we look for the following minimum eligibility criteria:

  1. enrolment:
    • enrolled in a degree programme in a graduate school (second university degree or higher) at the time of application and during the internship (if a candidate is graduating before the internship period begins, they are no longer eligible); or

    • not have graduated prior to the beginning of the internship.
