announcement: UNESCO 2009 Young Professional Program - applications due Nov 19
Call for Applications: UNESCO 2009 Young Professionals Program (YPP)
Deadline: November 19, 2008
UNESCO has opened the application process for its intake 2009 Young Professionals Program (YPP). The Young Professionals Programme provides ten young people under 30 years old with the opportunity to start a career in an international organization. UNESCO is headquartered in Paris and an excellent knowledge of English or French is a requirement. Selected candidates will be recruited with a one-year contract at the P-1 level (approximately $45,000 tax-free).
The program is extremely competitive, and is expected to be particularly so this year as UNESCO did not offer it last year. Each under-represented member state (including the U.S.) is allowed to submit twelve candidates for further consideration by UNESCO, of which only ten will be selected worldwide for this program.
