UNICEF is now accepting applications for the New and Emerging Talent Initiative (NETI) 9th Cohort Recruitment Campaign.
The New and Emerging Talent Initiative (NETI) is an entry point for dynamic professionals interested in an international career with UNICEF. As part of UNICEF’s global talent management strategy to achieve the organisation’s current and future goals, the NETI Programme focuses on attracting, selecting, developing and retaining new talent from entry to mid-career levels to grow and to develop within the organisation. NETI participants work actively in multicultural environments within the development and humanitarian arenas while contributing to delivering results for children.
Program Structure
The New and Emerging Talent Initiative is a two year programme for candidates who have successfully passed the NETI recruitment process and have been selected and appointed for a regular P-2/P-3 position.
NETI participants are given an initial one-year work appointment with a one or two-week Induction at UNICEF’s New York Headquarters (NYHQ). During the induction, NETI participants familiarize themselves with UNICEF and meet HQ colleagues from the functional areas in which they will work during their assignment. Participants then return to their respective duty stations/offices for the remainder of their appointment.
