Recruitment & Job Opportunities

The ASPR is not a recruiting organization. However, during the IPT Specialization Course, we offer participants the opportunity to have an interview with a recruiting expert from the Special Operations Department of United Nations Volunteers (UNV). Depending on the participant’s qualifications and UNV’s needs,  the prospective UN employee will be contacted (sometimes within one week’s notice) and may be sent to any UN mission in the world. During the last years, many of our participants from a variety of countries have found their entry into the UN system through our courses. They now work with UN Missions in Kosovo, Haiti, Nepal, etc.

For further information on UN Volunteers please visit www.unvolunteers.org
