Junior Professional Officer Programs

Posted by:  Fred Thomas

The Junior Professional Officer Programme

The Junior Professional Officer (JPO) Programme provides the opportunity  for young university graduates, and young qualified professionals to  obtain training. As at January 2003, 21 governments/organisations sponsor over 90 JPOs through out the UN. These are: Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Korea, Liechtenstein, the Netherlands, Nigeria, Norway, the Organisation Internationale de la Francophonie (OIF), Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States of America. The duration of a JPO assignment varies according to the sponsor government (2 or 3 years).

Certain governments (currently the Netherlands, Japan, Belgium, Italy, Finland and the "Organisation Internationale de la Francophonie – OIF") also sponsor JPOs from other countries under the Developing Country Scheme (JPO/DC).

Minimum requirements individuals must meet for being considered as JPOs  are: Degree equivalent to a Bachelor's Degree or a Master's Degree in a field equivalent and/or relevant to the functions requested in the job description. At least two to three years of relevant work experience.  Proficiency in English (spoken and written). Knowledge of a second language of the United Nations a strong asset.  Computer literacy in standard software applications.  Keen and demonstrated interest in the United Nations and humanitarian issues, in particular, and ability to live and/or serve in hardship locations. Ability to establish and maintain good working relations with people of  different national and cultural backgrounds.

Recruitment Procedures

A list of JPO vacancies is regularly submitted to participating  governments, requesting them to select/earmark the posts they can sponsor through the recruitment of a JPO. An interested sponsor government then initiates its own recruitment search and pre–selection process, upon completion. This procedure could vary depending on the sponsor, whereby grouped interviews are scheduled and organised by the sponsoring government on a yearly basis, Once a JPO candidate has been selected for a particular vacancy, the sponsor government is informed accordingly and the recruitment procedure of the candidate is initiated as soon as the necessary funds are made available by the sponsoring government. JPOs are appointed at the P–2 level normally, but some governments limit the appointment to the P–1 level, at least the first year. The total costs of a budgetary estimate will vary depending on the grade of the JPO, the location of the assignment, and his/her marital status. The number of JPOs sponsored by each government will depend on their budget, and there is no minimum or maximum number of JPOs expected to be sponsored by them at any point in time. Some sponsors recruit JPOs every other year, some every year, some

on a case–by–case basis.

Newly recruited JPOs are requested to attend a three–to–four–day induction at Headquarters before taking up duties in their respective duty stations. Moreover, throughout their JPO assignment, participation in workshops, seminars and other relevant training is made available to JPOs.
