Have you been invited to the 2024-2025 UN YPP Written Exam stage?

The United Nations Young Professionals Programme – UN YPP – is an annual initiative focused on the selection and recruitment of distinguished and highly qualified young professionals from different parts of the world. Every year the UN receives approximately 50,000 applications for the YPP, which selects around 100 highly qualified and motivated young people from around the world who wish to start an international career, hone their skills, and assist the organization in fulfilling its mission.

The UN YPP selection process is carried out once a year and comprises several stages: an online application form, a writing test, and a competency-based interview. In pursuit of its mission, OpenIGO Network has prepared this special package to help you better understand the Written Examination stage of the selection process, allowing you to perform successfully in each of its parts.

The Written Examination is by far the most competitive stage of the UN YPP: only 4% of candidates invited to take the exam are successful and move on to the interview stage. Practicing is, therefore, crucial to pass this stage and that is precisely why OpenIGO has assembled this preparation material for you. We have already helped dozens of candidates start their international careers and we want you to become one of them!

In the United Nations YPP 2024-2025 Written Exam Preparation, you will find all the necessary content to prepare for the two phases of the UN YPP Written Examination (for all exam areas).
