What will the internship offer the student and what will they learn while they are with you? E.g. skills they could learn/develop and experience they could gain.

The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Unit of Information and Technology Management (ITM) in Copenhagen plays a vital role in advancing UNDP’s digital transformation agenda. ITM supports UNDP Country Offices with the implementation of digital and green energy solutions, to achieve sustainable development goals on a global scale while enhancing value delivery to partners. The Graphic Design Internship will support ITM’s Communication and Change Management team, specifically for the team’s expanded communication services offering for UNDP units.

Our unit offers a stimulating and versatile internship in an international environment with contact to various partners from more than 170 countries with UNDP presence. We are a team who work in a dynamic and informal atmosphere, and we expect our interns to become vital members of the team. The UNDP/ITM Graphic Design Internship programme enhances the academic life experience of passionate students as interns and empowers them to become socially responsible, innovative, and environmentally conscious leaders of tomorrow. As an intern, you will also gain worldwide connections with other top-talented interns and UN staff and be given tasks and opportunities that have a direct global impact on international development efforts.
