Dear All, 

 

UNDP and UNV have launched a new joint programme to recruit Young
Professionals with disabilities to work in the UN System. The Programme will
offer young people with disabilities the opportunity to acquire practical
work experience and exposure to the work of the UN Development System
through assignments with the country, regional or headquarters offices of
UNDP and other UN entities. The first set of positions under the UNDP-UNV
Talent Programme for Young Professionals with Disabilities is now advertised
and open for applications. Please see the vacancy announcements here:

Young people with disabilities from the global South are among the most
marginalized and underrepresented populations in the world. If you find a
talented young professional with disabilities who fulfil the eligibility
criteria, please encourage them to apply. For further clarity, please
contact Maria Teresa Lago Lao maria.teresa.lago.lao at undp.org
<mailto:maria.teresa.lago.lao at undp.org>  and Niels Lohmann
niels.lohmann at unv.org <mailto:niels.lohmann at unv.org> . They will be hosting
two webinars to present the programme and the application process, and to
answer any questions. The schedule of webinars are below. 

 

To be eligible to apply, candidates should be no more than 35 years of age,
and hold a Bachelor or a Master level degree (or be enrolled in a university
programme at the Master level). Work experience will be an advantage but not
a requirement.

 

Note that selected candidates will be deployed to UNDP offices for 12-month
assignments. Learning and professional development will be an integral part
of all positions. See attached a flyer on the Talent Programme for further
information.

 

The UNDP-UNV team managing the Talent Programme will host two webinars open
to young professionals with disabilities interested in applying to the
positions, to present the programme and the application process, and to
answer any questions.  

 

The webinars will take place as per the below schedule:
