The Mid-Level Professionals Programme (MLPP) is a fresh recruitment strategy for talented, skilled and greatly qualified mid-level professionals who want to initiate/progress in their careers as International Civil Servants at UNESCO.

To attract and inspire candidates to this program, UNESCO will launch a virtual career fair together with Impactpool. During this event, you can engage in private chats and live sessions, where you can meet HR representatives, ask them questions and get insights on the positions included in this programme. Register today! Learn more about the programme, apply for the vacancies and register for the virtual event on the 26th of September 2023, from 1:30pm CEST, to engage directly with the hiring managers.

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.

Applicants are expected to exhibit a strong command of at least one working language used within the Secretariat (English or French). Proficiency in both of these working languages is advantageous and might be obligatory in certain cases.

Knowledge of Arabic, Chinese, Russian or Spanish could be required or would be an additional asset.

UNESCO Core Values: Commitment to the Organization, Integrity, Respect for Diversity, Professionalism
