UNICEF has launched the New and Emerging Talent Initiative programme which works as an entry point for dynamic professionals interested in an international career with this UN agency.
NETI focuses on attracting, selecting, developing and retaining talent from entry to mid-career levels to grow and to develop in the organisation. NETI participants work actively in multicultural environments within the development and humanitarian arenas while contributing to delivering results for children.
NETI participants are given an initial one year work appointment that begins with a one month orientation at UNICEF New York Headquarters (NYHQ). During this period NETI participants familiarize themselves with UNICEF and get the chance to meet HQ colleagues from the functional areas in which they will work during their field assignment. Participants are then deployed globally to a field duty station for the remaining 11-month period. During their assignments, the NETI participants receive dedicated support and development through orientation at New York Headquarters, mentoring, and external coaching to help develop their personal and professional skills, as well as maximize their performance.
The programme offers:
- Training and Development Opportunities
- Insight into HQ Operations and International Placement
- Mentoring, Coaching & Support
- Compensation, Benefits and Relocation
Applications for the Programme can be submitted only through the UNICEF online application system. The deadline to apply is 4 November 2011. For more information, visit this link.
