UNICEF’s 6-Month Multimedia Internship
For every child, a better world
In UNICEF, over 1000 colleagues work in the Supply Function across 97 countries and 173 offices.
UNICEF’s supply and logistics headquarters – Supply Division – is located in Copenhagen, which is also home to the largest humanitarian warehouse in the world. About half of the 1000 colleagues are housed in Supply Division, Copenhagen with areas of expertise including logistics, procurement, warehouse management, product innovation, market insights, finance, pharma, nutrition, vaccines, cold chain, and health technologies and engineering.
The internship is centered on the maintenance and creation of content for the UNICEF Supply Division Director’s social media channels with an emphasis on graphic production and video editing. The Director’s social media channels serve to communicate time-sensitive and accurate information and updates to diverse audiences, including suppliers and partners, and require regular production of engaging multimedia content.
