Boosting the confidence and career development of UN Volunteers serving with UNICEF

Uncertainty about navigating professional moves and developing a career path is common amongst young professionals – especially those new to the United Nations system. The UN Children's Fund (UNICEF) is committed to supporting the career development of its youngest personnel, including UN Volunteers.

UNICEF's Division of Human Resources collaborated with the Capacity Development Team of the United Nations Volunteers (UNV) programme and experienced career coaches to boost the confidence and skills of their UN Volunteers.

In two live sessions, UN Volunteers hosted at UNICEF offices globally received useful resources, advice and tips on career management. In addition, they connected with the global UNV community and engaged with UNICEF's Talent Programmes and Partnership Team.
