Recruitment Step by Step
Once you have submitted your application for a post under the Young Professionals Programme to your National Commission, it will go through the various stages of the recruitment process.
Under this programme, the procedure is different from the normal process for professional posts.
In order to guarantee that recruitment is fully transparent, applications are examined by selection committees.
Recruitment process for Young Professionals:
1. Opening of the Young Professionals Programme
Usually between the months of March and April, the Bureau of Human Resources Management of UNESCO notifies the National Commissions of unrepresented or under-represented Member States, by means of a circular letter, of the opening of the Young Professionals Programme. Applicants are then invited to send their application to their country’s National Commission.
2. Submission of your application
After checking that your profile corresponds to the skills and abilities required, the National Commission for UNESCO in the country of which you are a national transmits a limited number of applications to the Bureau of Human Resources Management of UNESCO.

A multicultural and multidisciplinary committee will make an initial selection of applications which will then be submitted for a more thorough evaluation.
The committee will examine the applicants’ motivation, their academic qualifications, the level of their professional and international experience as well as their language skills and other relevant knowledge and abilities.
4. Evaluation of the applicants
If you are among the shortlisted candidates, you will have to attend interviews. The interviews, which take place over two days, are presided over by the person responsible for the Young Professionals Programme and the professional heads of the sectors concerned. They will seek to examine both your overall skills and technical abilities.
The interviews will provide you with an opportunity to demonstrate your communication skills, your team spirit, your analytical capabilities, your sense of initiative and also your creativity and your degree of flexibility and adaptation.

- If your application is successful, UNESCO will send you a letter of appointment as rapidly as possible.
- If your application is not successful, UNESCO will inform you by post.
Your entry into service as a Young Professional should normally take place in the month of February of the following year (for example, if you applied under this Programme in 2003, the commencement of your employment would take place in February 2004). In your first year at UNESCO, you will benefit from an appropriate professional training programme.
Your professional training
The Young Professionals Programme is a programme especially intended for young graduates or professionals. One of the main goals of this one-year programme is the enhancement of your professional development.
That is why UNESCO provides training designed to introduce you to the various professional aspects of the Organization.
The Bureau of Human Resources Management offers you training during the first year of your appointment which will enable you to acquire wide-ranging knowledge about the functioning, the programme and the administration of UNESCO.
Schedule
After an introductory training course on the structure and services of the Organization, and on the major programmes carried out by UNESCO, you will be assigned to various services in the Secretariat.
Experienced colleagues will guide you through the more technical aspects of UNESCO’s programmes and administrative procedures.
Your training will be rounded off with language and IT courses, if needed.
Professional values
Integration, proficiency and development and also team spirit, commitment and technological ability are on the list of values we wish to pass on to you as part of your professional development. Here is how they apply to your field of activity in UNESCO:

Commitment = you should assume responsibilities in connection with various missions or operations
Technological ability = you should master the use of UNESCO’s internal computer network.

YOUR APPOINTMENT
You will normally be given a fixed-term contract of one year on appointment at UNESCO Headquarters in Paris. The first 9 months are considered to be a probationary period enabling us to evaluate your performance and conduct.
