NATO's Young Professionals Programme (YPP) aims to attract and develop highly talented professionals who are interested in accelerating their career through entry-level positions at NATO. Successful candidates will have the opportunity to work in various areas in different NATO bodies and gain a range of experiences across the Alliance.
Successful candidates will be assigned to different NATO bodies for one-year periods, for a total of three NATO bodies over three years. This will provide participants with a broad understanding of NATO and with opportunities to develop many competencies in several different work areas within the Organization.
After completion of the three-year programme, participants may be appointed to a position in one of the NATO bodies where they worked for an additional period of three years based on business needs and individual performance.
The Young Professionals Programme offers successful candidates the opportunity to acquire a unique international experience, which will contribute to their personal and professional growth. Participants in the YPP programme will also receive a competitive employee benefit package.
As a NATO Young Professional, you will contribute to a military and political alliance that protects one billion people. You will work in diverse and stimulating environments in one or several related areas during your assignments to three different NATO bodies. After the successful completion of the YPP, you may be appointed to a position in a single NATO body for an additional three years to further develop your experience and capabilities. You will be able to enhance your career development and equip yourself with the knowledge and toolkit necessary for tackling your next professional challenges.
Successful candidates will have the opportunity to support NATO's objectives by contributing to a wide range of activities addressing the needs of each NATO body and the whole of the Alliance. As a Young Professional, you will also be able to develop your knowledge and skills while enlarging your professional network through the community of Young Professionals and the NATO family at large.
Young Professionals will receive a competitive salary and other benefits, including health insurance, reimbursement of travel expenses to relocate before and after duty, training opportunities and paid annual leave of 30 days.
