Cross-checked 1 of 4 key facts

Confirmed Our best read Not stated

Good to know

  • +When it runs the offer is genuinely major: a two-year assignment with a country, regional or headquarters office in either a Programme and Policy or a Corporate Operations stream, plus a customised learning path
  • +Eligibility is stated precisely and inclusively, and women, minority and indigenous groups, people with disabilities and first-generation university graduates are explicitly encouraged
  • +Prior cohorts are documented with real numbers and named duty stations across sixteen countries
  • +Unimpeachable institutional credibility

Worth checking yourself

  • !The closing date could not be confirmed on the organisation's own pages. This listing shows no deadline, which does not mean applications are open indefinitely. Check the official page before you plan around it.
  • !THERE IS CURRENTLY NO WAY TO APPLY. UNDP's own page says the next recruitment campaign is only under consideration, and the apply URL leads to an information page, not an application form. Leaving this live with a Rolling badge tells young people they can apply when they cannot
  • !The programme looks dormant, not merely between rounds: only two cohorts have ever run, in 2021 and 2022, and nothing on the page commits UNDP to a third
  • !Funding type is NOT confirmed at source. The page states no salary, stipend or benefit figure anywhere. Fully Funded is carried forward from the existing record, not read this pass
  • !The URL on file carries a Facebook click-tracking parameter which should be stripped
  • !Restricted to nationals of UNDP programme countries, and requires relocating abroad for two years
