What interns will support
The assignments involve media monitoring, multimedia and newsletter production, private-sector partnerships, campaigns, events and field activities. This is a location-specific recruitment exercise, not an announcement of worldwide remote positions.

Candidates should be enrolled in or recently graduated from journalism, communication or a related university programme. UNICEF seeks excellent French or English, strong academic performance, audiovisual-content skills and an interest in humanitarian or development communications. The advertisement does not state a stipend amount.
Prepare evidence of your communication skills
Opportunities Feed application guidance: Choose examples that show both production ability and editorial judgement. A student publication, a responsibly produced short video or a community awareness campaign can help you explain how you adapt a message to its audience. State your own contribution and avoid claiming ownership of a whole team’s work.
For any portfolio material involving children or vulnerable people, use only work you have permission to share. Do not upload confidential beneficiary information to strengthen an application. Describe your approach to consent, accuracy and respectful representation without exposing private details.
Check the duty station and availability requirements before submitting. Make sure your CV, academic information and application answers agree. If compensation, travel or accommodation details are unclear, ask the recruiter rather than assuming they are covered.
