The Junior Professional Officer Program (JPO)
Sponsored by the Bureau of Population, Refugees, and
Migration (PRM)
General Information
The U.S. Government, through the Department of
State, Bureau of Population, Refugees,
and Migration (PRM), sponsors qualified
The qualifications for the JPO positions vary with
each assignment, but a graduate-level, Masters or Doctorate degree in a
relevant discipline, and fluency in at least one, preferably more, of the UN’s
major working languages such as French, Spanish, Russian, Arabic, etc., is
typical. Competitive applicants will usually have two or more years working
experience in a developing country (for example, working for a non-governmental
organization or for the Peace Corps) and will have academic background in
fields related to refugee programs such as development, public health,
immigration law, etc. Ideally, the applicant will also have either prior
experience in, or a familiarity with the UN system.
At the end of the assignment, these two UN
organizations may offer a particularly distinguished JPO a permanent position
in their agencies.
PRM sponsors UNHCR and WFP JPOs for field
assignments throughout the world to assist in the protection and care of
refugees. The JPO selection process is carried out jointly by PRM and the
respective UN organization, with initial applications going to PRM.
The program is competitive. Consequently, we
encourage only qualified applicants interested in having their names added to our
database of candidates, complete the UN Personal History (UN P-11) form
(downloadable from the PRM website: http://www.state.gov/g/prm. The
application, along with any other relevant information (i.e., CV and/or cover
letter), should be emailed to the PRM JPO Coordinator at JPOCoordinator@state.gov . Mailed responses can be sent to: JPO
Coordinator, Suite L-505, SA-1, Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration,
Subject: Guide - Junior Professional
Officer Programs
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,
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

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.
