Young professionals
programme
The United Nations is looking for highly qualified
candidates who are ready to launch a professional career as an international
civil servant. The young professionals programme (YPP) is a recruitment
initiative that brings new talent to the United Nations through an annual
entrance examination. For young, high-calibre professionals across the globe,
the examination is a platform for launching a career at the United Nations.
This programme builds upon the national competitive recruitment examination
(NCRE) which was held for the last time in 2010.
Are you eligible to participate in the young professionals
programme examination?
Do you hold at least a first-level university degree?
Are you 32 or younger by the end of this year?
Do you speak either English and/or French fluently?
Are you a national of a participating country?
The examination is held worldwide and is open to nationals
of countries participating in the annual recruitment exercise - the list of
participating countries is published annually and varies from year to year.
This examination is also held for staff members of the
United Nations Secretariat who work within the General Service and other
related categories and aspire to a career within the Professional and higher
categories. For more information about staff members participating in the young
professionals programme, click here.
The examination tests your substantive knowledge, analytical
thinking, drafting abilities, as well as your awareness of international
affairs.
Initially you will be appointed for two years and then be
reviewed for a continuing appointment. The Organization promotes mobility
within and across duty stations and job families. As a new recruit you are
expected to work in at least two different functions and duty stations within
your first five years of service. You will be offered orientation and mobility
training as well as career support. This will help you adapt and accelerate the
learning period leading to productive work and job satisfaction as an
international civil servant.
