Learning and career development

When you join UNDP, we aren’t just offering you a job. We are offering an investment in you and your future. UNDP believes in the capabilities of its people and continuous growth both within UNDP and the broader UN system. 

We provide a wide range of opportunities for career and capability development, targeted by contract type and seniority level. These include: 

• Opportunities for colleagues to independently set goals and enhance their own careers through online resources and tools driven by artificial intelligence. 
• Opportunities to learn continuously through a broad range of resources, activities and programmes developed by UNDP experts and/or leading providers. 
• Opportunities to learn from other UNDP & UN professionals through career labs as well as coaching and mentoring. 
• Opportunities for on-the-job learning programmes, short-term work placements, certifications, detailed assignments.

As part of our People for 2030 Strategy, UNDP is committed to making sure that managers and leaders at all levels of the organization are capable of leading and helping their people develop effectively. UNDP offers a range of programmes and courses specifically designed to help our managers and leaders enhance these skills.
