Project management<br />

PRINCE2 teaches a process-based method that is<br />

easily adaptable for the management of all types<br />

of projects.<br />

“<br />

I obtained the PRINCE2 Practitioner Certification<br />

soon after joining <strong>UNOPS</strong>, and it has benefited me<br />

tremendously. This standardized methodology really<br />

helps me to find my way around any project and provide<br />

support on a wide array of topics.<br />

Human <strong>res<strong>our</strong>ces</strong> management<br />

The e-Cornell certification creates awareness and<br />

understanding of key <strong>human</strong> <strong>res<strong>our</strong>ces</strong> concepts,<br />

the implications of HR decisions, the interconnected<br />

nature of HR work and the United Nations’ HR policies<br />

and procedures.<br />

“<br />

The e-Cornell HR certification has increased my<br />

understanding of HR and refined my skills in areas<br />

such as conducting interviews, developing policies and<br />

performance management.<br />

Languages<br />

The award-winning online c<strong>our</strong>ses from Rosetta<br />

Stone make learning fun, easy and natural. C<strong>our</strong>ses<br />

are available in the United Nations official languages<br />

(English, French, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese<br />

and Russian) and are designed to support the<br />

development of job-related language skills<br />

for personnel.<br />

“<br />

I find Rosetta Stone to be a valuable tool in language<br />

acquisition, especially for those studying at a beginner’s<br />

level. The French skills I have learned will certainly be<br />

put to use when I relocate to Geneva next year.<br />

United Nations<br />

These interactive self-paced c<strong>our</strong>ses cover topics<br />

like personal security and ensure that individuals<br />

understand UN policies on harassment, sexual<br />

harassment and abuse of authority in order to create<br />

a harmonious work environment.<br />

“<br />

I completed the United Nations mandatory security in<br />

the field c<strong>our</strong>ses when I first started with <strong>UNOPS</strong>. Having<br />

been on a mission to Kabul, Afghanistan in 2012, I found<br />

that the c<strong>our</strong>ses reinforced basic safety measures, while<br />

providing useful information on how to deal with hazards<br />

and security threats in the field.<br />
