2016 NETI Programme Positions in Child Protection, Communication for Development, Monitoring, Evaluation and Research, Social Policy, and Nutrition.

The New and Emerging Talent Initiative (NETI) is an entry point for professionals interested in an international career with UNICEF. As part of UNICEF’s global talent management strategy the NETI Programme focuses on attracting, selecting, developing and retaining new talent. The aim is to recruit candidates at the mid-career levels who will grow and develop in the organization. NETI participants work actively in multicultural environments within the development and humanitarian arenas, while contributing to delivering results for children.

The NETI Programme is currently recruiting for suitable candidates for the following functional areas at the P-3 level: Child Protection, Communication for Development, Monitoring, Evaluation and Research, Social Policy, and Nutrition. We invite candidates with at least 5 years of relevant professional work experience, a completed advanced degree (Master's degree or equivalent), proficiency in English and working knowledge of another UN language (Arabic, French, Mandarin, Spanish, or Russian) to apply.

All applicants will be required to complete a technical test questionnaire at the time of application. Only shortlisted candidates will be notified and will therefore advance to the next stage of the competitive selection process, which involves various additional assessments including a language proficiency test.

For full NETI Programme details and information on how to apply, please visit the NETI website at www.unicef.org/neti. Applications will only be accepted online through UNICEF’s eRecruitment system, until 11:59pm EST, August 14, 2016.
