A brand-new set of learning modules on pension-related topics specifically designed for retirees who are members of the UN Joint Staff Pension Fund (UNJSPF).

Introduction

Hosted in UNSSC’s Blue Line platform, these new online modules were developed by UNSSC in close cooperation with the United Nations Joint Staff Pension Fund (UNJSPF).

Objectives

This new set of modules offers a unique resource to understand, plan and benefit from the service of the UN Joint Staff Pension Fund (UNJSPF) and related pension schemes.

Participants, retirees and beneficiaries will be able to understand the UNJSPF pension plan, their rights options and obligations.

Course methodology

After registration, participants can start and complete courses and activities at their own pace.

Each course offers a combination of small knowledge units (self-paced micro-lessons) with activities that promote the consolidation and reflection on course key takeaways.

Additionally, course participants will be able to consolidate takeaways through reflective practices and interaction with other participants via discussion forums, and other activities.

Participants will get a certificate for each course completed. The course certificate will be released upon successful completion of all lessons and activities set for the specific course.

The following selected online courses are available for free to all UN Staff:

• Module 1: Participation Essentials

• Module 3: Essentials for Retirees and Beneficiaries
