The ETHOS programme consists of three main components: a) self-paced e-learning modules; b) interactive webinars; and c) a face-to-face workshop.
The programme focuses on three main themes, namely operational management skills, integration of operational solutions and complex problem solving for managers, with each programme component having different methodologies of learning and opportunities for participants to engage with the group.
The programme is envisioned for staff serving at the P3, FS7, P4 and P5 levels, working mostly in administrative or operational support matters, drawn from field missions and other entities across the UN Secretariat. Staff members from other components and programmatic pillars, especially those coordinating closely with Mission Support (such as Planning Officers, Legal Officers, Administrative Officers, etc.) are also encouraged to apply. In line with the United Nations system-wide Strategy on Gender Parity, female candidates are strongly encouraged to apply.
