UNESCO Internship Programme 2026: Launch Your Global Career (Multiple Openings)
The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has opened its global application roster for the 2026 internship cycle. With "multiple" positions currently listed for its Headquarters in Paris and various Field Offices worldwide, this is the premier opportunity for students and recent graduates to gain entry into the UN system.+1
While many international organizations are scaling back, UNESCO remains a hub of activity. From the Natural Science Sector to Digital Business Solutions, the organization is actively seeking young professionals to support its mandate of building peace through international cooperation.
This is not a typical "coffee-run" internship. A UNESCO internship is a rigorous professional apprenticeship. It places you at the center of global policy-making, offering a rare vantage point into how international treaties are formed, how heritage sites are protected, and how education standards are set globally. If you are ready to apply your academic theory to real-world diplomatic challenges, the 2026 intake is your gateway.
