Blane Posted June 6, 2003 Report Share Posted June 6, 2003 Feeling a bit nervous here. I've got a 60 minute phone interview in a few minutes, for an internship with the UN Training and Research program. I've got to pretend I know a bunch about global climate issues and sustainable development. The person selected gets set up in Geneva, Switzerland for 6-8 months with all expenses covered. Yeeesh!

Schwa. Posted June 21, 2003 Report Share Posted June 21, 2003 WOW, congrats! What is it you'll be doing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blane Posted June 21, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2003 Basically i'll be developing training and education programs for UNITAR's centre for climate control. It's basically the people who developed and are implementing the Kyoto Protocol. I'll be working on making education workshops and programs for groups in Sri Lanka, Senegal and a few other places, but I'll be doing it from Geneva. Should be tough, but really rewarding work.

Blane Posted June 22, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2003 phishin'4mango, I studied "culture and values in education" for my MA. Hardly related, but I have some training experience and was a bit lucky I guess. All the other qualified applicants were from teh Enviro-Science field, and they weren't looking for that. Sadly it means more shows to be missed.... Ah well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blane Posted June 22, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2003 best place to start looking right now is at the CIDA website (www.acdi-cida.gc.ca). Click on "looking for employment" and then the internships link on the left. There should be a whole batch of them posted any day now. Good luck!
