Dr Kafoutchoni’s reading

The key word here is “on-site”: this traineeship should be read as a coordination role in Geneva, not as a remote support assignment. Your application therefore needs to prove that you can handle logistics, deadlines, and visits or events, with precise examples rather than a list of courses. Bring out any real coordination experience, even if brief, and connect it to your written and spoken English. Submit a cover letter that shows your availability in Geneva and your ability to take charge of the operational tasks.

Countries covered

Undergraduate, master’s or postgraduate students, as well as recent graduates from these fields, may apply.

Strong spoken and written English is required, French remains an asset, and experience coordinating visits, events, or online training can make the difference.
