This program, provided by the World Federation of United Nations Associations (WFUNA), gives students the opportunity to engage with diplomats and the UN staff directly at their headquarters in New York. The UNAT is a program designed to help students learn about the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals and the decision-making process of international organizations.

The UNAT provides a variety of unique experiences such as seminars, mentoring sessions, and career lectures at the UN headquarters. This program also includes visits to the major institutions within the UN headquarters, as well as the chance to learn directly from former and current diplomats. Working luncheons with UN staff members give our students the opportunity to make valuable connections for future career consulting, especially for those looking to work at the United Nations. This will help students prepare for their future careers and expose them to the skills necessary to be competitive professionals in the global market.
