What is the UN Talent Pipeline?

The UN Talent Pipeline is a capacity-building programme designed to help professionals from developing countries that are considered unrepresented or underrepresented within the UN Secretariat increase their readiness for UN career opportunities. Through targeted training, mentorship, and networking opportunities, this programme will strengthen your job applications and enhance your competitiveness in the UN recruitment process. By joining, you will contribute to a more diverse UN workforce in the future.

This strategic initiative is supported by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People’s Republic of China through the Trust Fund for UN Peace and Development. It directly contributes to Sustainable Development Goal 16.8, which calls for broader and more inclusive participation of developing countries in institutions of global governance. The initiative aims to build a robust pipeline of qualified candidates from unrepresented and underrepresented developing Member States.

However, once accepted into the talent pipeline, members must fully commit to completing a structured training and capacity-building programme, requiring approximately three to five hours per month over a three to six-month period. The training will include a combination of self-paced learning and instructor-led virtual group webinars.
