| Overview : UNDP is looking for the services of an entity to manage the Joint UN Trainee Programme. The Joint UN Trainee Programme for Socially Excluded Groups is one of the number of concrete initiatives launched by the UN Country Team to implement its commitment to greater workforce diversity (see attached for the UN signed joint declaration on the Principles). The goal of the programme is to provide capacity-building and professional training to young individuals with a particular focus on those from Nepal’s socially excluded groups. The Trainee Programme is targeted to youth from socially excluded groups who are university graduates (with minimum qualification of Bachelors). In order to enhance the employability of potential candidates’ trainees will participate in an 11 month, full-time programme. The main target candidates for the programme are recent graduates (i.e. within few year after graduation) rather than registered full time university students. For the purpose of this program, socially excluded groups are those social groups who have traditionally been “left out” politically and culturally. These groups are: 1) Dalit (Hill and Madhesi); 2) Disadvantaged Janajati (Hill and Madhesi); 3) Muslim; 4) Madhesi; 5) People with Disability and 6) Sexual Minority. A minimum of 50% from each group will be women in this program. |
