The young professionals programme (YPP) is a recruitment initiative that brings new talent to the United Nations through an annual entrance examination.
The YPP is designed to facilitate the access of entry-level professionals with diverse backgrounds into the Organisation.
British nationals and the YPP
The UK is not at present eligible for the YPP scheme and so British nationals are currently not able to apply for this programme. However, if you are also a national of another country (i.e. dual national) that is participating in the YPP, then you may be able to apply for the programme as a national of that country.
More information can be found on the YPP section of the UN Careers website.
