UNDP is committed to achieving workforce diversity in terms of gender, nationality and culture. Individuals from minority groups, indigenous groups and persons with disabilities are equally encouraged to apply. All applications will be treated with the strictest confidence. UNDP does not tolerate sexual exploitation and abuse, any kind of harassment, including sexual harassment, and discrimination. All selected candidates will, therefore, undergo rigorous reference and background checks.
Background
UN Women, grounded in the vision of equality enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, works for the elimination of discrimination against women and girls; the empowerment of women; and the achievement of equality between women and men as partners and beneficiaries of development, human rights, humanitarian action and peace and security.
Aligned with the United Nations' 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, UN Women's Second Chance Education and Vocational Learning (SCE) Programme is a solution for women who have missed out on education. This project aims to develop context specific, affordable and scalable learning, entrepreneurship and employment pathways for empowering the most disadvantaged women. It offers women, their families, local communities and societies the benefits of access to educational services which are tailored not only to their needs as learners, but also to their future as earners. The SCE Programme achieves this through partnerships with implementing organizations on the ground.
In its first phase (2018–2024), SCE is being piloted in six countries: Australia, Cameroon, Chile, India, Jordan, and Mexico, representing three different contexts: low and middle-income countries with pockets of exclusion, marginalization and poverty, including among indigenous groups; fragile and crisis countries with mass displacement and refugees; and a developed context with marginalized groups of refugees, migrant and indigenous women.
SCE is now in a critical phase of resource mobilization and targeted communications work as well as consolidation of knowledge and lessons learned from the pilot. SCE seeks the support of an intern in a range of tasks including support in social media management, support in the contextualization of blended learning materials, the production of communication assets and general translation assistance across all those areas.
Duties and ResponsibilitiesUnder the overall guidance of the SCE Programme Manager, the direct supervision of the Knowledge Management and Research Analyst and close collaboration with E-learning Specialist and the SCE team, the intern is expected to work on/contribute to the below assignments:
- Support the translation and contextualization of online SCE foundational courses, including through review of drafts, translation assistance, audio recordings, image selection, generation of video instructions, testing of online courses, and checking the alignment between face-to-face and digital materials.
- Undertake general support functions for communication and resource mobilization work such as editing subtitles, drafting and proofreading documents, preparing PowerPoint presentations, transcription of video materials, contribute to the graphic design of concept notes and other documents.
- Support the social media calendar creating posts and managing the SCE social media accounts.
- Carry out regular updates of the SCE data base to ensure it always contains the latest data points available around themes that are relevant to SCE programme.
- Provide any other support as advised by the supervisor.

Note:
In July 2010, the United Nations General Assembly created UN Women, the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women. The creation of UN Women came about as part of the UN reform agenda, bringing together resources and mandates for greater impact. It merges and builds on the important work of four previously distinct parts of the UN system (DAW, OSAGI, INSTRAW and UNIFEM), which focused exclusively on gender equality and women's empowerment.
At UN Women, we are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive environment of mutual respect. UN Women recruits, employs, trains, compensates, and promotes regardless of race, religion, color, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, ability, national origin, or any other basis covered by appropriate law. All employment is decided on the basis of qualifications, competence, integrity and organizational need.
If you need any reasonable accommodation to support your participation in the recruitment and selection process, please include this information in your application.
UN Women has a zero-tolerance policy on conduct that is incompatible with the aims and objectives of the United Nations and UN Women, including sexual exploitation and abuse, sexual harassment, abuse of authority and discrimination. All selected candidates will be expected to adhere to UN Women's policies and procedures and the standards of conduct expected of UN Women personnel and will therefore undergo rigorous reference and background checks. (Background checks will include the verification of academic credential(s) and employment history. Selected candidates may be required to provide additional information to conduct a background check.)
