DFM Internships: Training Programmes in the Legal Aspects of Debt, Financial Management & Negotiation Internship Overview Every year, UNITAR's Debt and Financial Management Training Programme (DFM) admits about 2 to 3 interns from around the world. These interns work with UNITAR full-time for four to six months on an unpaid basis in the areas related to our fields of interest. For example, interns assist in preparing Workshops, Training Programmes, Evaluation Reports, Publication Series, developing Training Methodologies, assisting in curriculum and online course development and updating Databases. Since the programme is growing, specific assignments are available for each intern, allowing him/her to get practical hands-on experience in our Institute. For those students interested in developmental issues, internship experience at UNITAR will indeed be valuable for future career openings in international organizations/development assistance agencies as well as a practical insight into areas relating to development economics, finance, negotiations and specific developmental issues in developing countries and economies in transition.
