Subject: [WestNileNet] Fw: UNICEF’s New and Emerging Talent Initiative
Dear Colleagues
These are some good opportunities for particularly the younger people. Please
peruse and consider giving it a shot, if you meet the requirements. I believe
they are softer on the second UN language requirement; but the message is that
we should get out and learn another international language to increase our
marketability.
Kind regards

UNICEF’s New and Emerging Talent Initiative
Posted: 28 Sep 2009 09:56 AM PDT
The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), active in 190 countries, areas and
territories is the world’s leading children’s right organization and a global
force. UNICEF is seeking committed professionals to join the New and Emerging
Talent Initiative (NETI) programme in early 2010.
The New and Emerging Talent Initiative (NETI) is an entry point for external
professionals interested in an international career with UNICEF. As part of
UNICEF’s global talent management strategy to achieve its current and future
goals, NETI focuses on attracting, selecting, developing and retaining new
external talent from entry to mid-career levels to grow and to develop in the
organisation. NETI participants will work actively in a multicultural
environment within the development and humanitarian arenas, while contributing
to delivering results for children.
Program structure
NETI participants are given a one-year work appointment that starts with a
one-week orientation and induction course at UNICEF New York Headquarters
(NYHQ), followed by a two-month assignment in a NYHQ division, based on each
participant’s profile. Participants are then deployed globally to a duty
station for the remaining 10-month period. Participants are reviewed throughout
the year and are considered for regular positions with UNICEF on the basis of
merit and performance.
Interested candidates must share the United Nations values and ideals, be able
to listen to and understand the ideas and concerns of the people we serve, and
be able to communicate and work strategically and effectively with others to
achieve results. Additionally, it is critical for candidates to be
geographically mobile and willing to serve in hardship duty stations.

NETI Candidate Profile:
NETI participants are motivated and talented entry – to mid-career level
professionals who are interested in an international career with UNICEF and who
have a passion for making a difference for children. Focus and method of work
will vary from country to country, however participants typically interact with
the government, civil society, academic institutions, the private sector, UN
agencies, donors and other development organizations in achieving children
survival, protection and development goals.

(staff and non-staff) that are formally considered external candidates as per
their contract type – United Nations Volunteers (UNVs), Interns, Consultants,

to apply only after 15 months of participation in the JPO Programme. Eligible
