UNESCO’s Mid-Level Professionals Programme 2022 for young Professionals

The Mid-Level Professionals Programme (MLPP) is a new recruitment initiative for talented and highly qualified mid-level professionals who wish to start and/or advance their careers as International Civil Servants at UNESCO. While recruitment is open to candidates from all UNESCO’s Member States, priority consideration, at equal competence, will be given to candidates from non- and under-represented Member States and to internal candidates.

Eligibility Criteria

Must be a national of a UNESCO Member State. Qualified candidates from non- and under-represented Member States are strongly encouraged to apply.
The MLPP selection process is based on the standard UNESCO recruitment process. Standard educational and work experience requirements for professional positions at P-3 and P-4 level apply.
Grade; Minimum number of years of relevant professional experience
P-3: Minimum 4 year, of which preferably 2 years acquired at international level. Advanced University (Masters or equivalent) in the relevant field.
P-4: Minimum 7 years, of which preferably 3 years acquired at international level.
Language requirements
Candidates should demonstrate an excellent knowledge of at least one working language of the Secretariat (English or French). A good knowledge of the other working language is an asset, or in some cases, is necessary.
Knowledge of Arabic, Chinese, Russian or Spanish could be required or would be an additional asset.
