OUR SUPPORT
We offer you a full list of high-level services throughout the whole UN YPP process:
Applying for the YPP?
Many potentially successful UN YPP applicants do not pass the screening stage because they inadvertently communicate incomplete or imprecise information to the system. We will review your application form (PHP) and provide a detailed feedback on improvements for creating a stronger profile.
Preparing for the written exam?
In this most competitive UN YPP stage, we will assist you by supplying with the finest study materials and providing an opportunity to test your knowledge through individual practice of multiple choice questions, essays and a mock examination in your job family.
Invited for the interview?
For the final stage of the UN YPP examination, we will arrange you a mock competency-based interview and provide a detailed feedback according to the real United Nations experience.
