UN Professional Placement Program
UN Professional Placements (UNPP) Programme
About the Programme
Canadians increasingly want to ‘make a difference’ through direct participation in international humanitarian organizations, be it through volunteer work, exchange programmes or internships. However, gaining access to the international arena can be formidable for those lacking overseas living experience and relevant work experience.
The United Nations Professional Placements (UNPP) Programme provides an avenue through which individual Canadians can participate in the UN and in its work to maintain international peace and security by lending its support to programmes which promote and respect both human rights and sustainable development. In so doing, UNPP participants are given the opportunity of working, living and interacting with peoples from around the world; in sharing ideas and views; and in acquiring cross-cultural understanding and sensitivity. Moreover, Canada maintains its global reputation through the efforts and hard work of these Canadian professionals who bring their knowledge, skills and enthusiasm to countries around the world.
