Now in its 19th year, the International Development & Diplomacy Internship Programme (IDDIP) (formerly known as the UNPPP), is honored to be able to continue investing in the future of Canadian global citizens. The United Nations Association in Canada (UNA-Canada) appreciates Canadians want international experience through direct participation in international organizations and agrees that the unique mosaic Canada possesses translates into something significant to offer international organizations. As one of the UNA-Canada's prestigious programmes, the IDDIP provides a unique avenue for qualified and motivated Canadian graduates and professionals to participate in the United Nations system as Junior Professional Consultants (JPCs).
UNA-Canada's competitive IDDIP offers a limited number of six-month internships to UN Agencies.
These internships provide successful applicants with invaluable, demanding, deeply meaningful work experience, as well as a proven bridge to employment. The IDDIP recruits, prepares, and supports qualified Canadians, and negotiates highly matched ToRs with UN agencies. UNA-Canada has sent hundreds of JPCs to UN agencies worldwide with over 98% of those JPCs finding related work within six months of completing the programme. Are you flexible, adaptable, comfortable in challenging situations? Can you see yourself working in a UN office promoting human rights, the rule of law, and sustainable development?
