New cohort of WTO young professionals welcomed by DG Azevêdo
The WTO has issued a call for candidates for the 2021 Young Professionals Programme (YPP). Candidates up to the age of 32, as of 1 January 2021, from eligible developing and least-developed countries are invited to submit their application by 29 May 2020. The selected candidates will work at the WTO Secretariat for one year, starting in January 2021.
Launched in 2016, the YPP has attracted over 40 young professionals from countries that are under-represented in the WTO Secretariat. The Programme demonstrates the WTO's efforts to increase diversity and broaden the representation of its membership.
In 2020, the programme consists of 12 young professionals from the following countries: Albania, Bahrain, Cuba, Dominica, Fiji, Guyana, Israel, Lesotho, Mali, Mozambique, North Macedonia and Singapore. They were selected from more than 1,200 candidates from all over the world following a highly competitive selection process. More about these young professionals is available here.

Background
The YPP provides a unique opportunity for qualified young professionals to enhance their knowledge and skills on WTO and international trade issues. The selected young professionals are allocated to various divisions of the WTO Secretariat based on their qualifications and the needs of the division. The areas of work may include accessions, agriculture, dispute settlement, intellectual property rights, market access, media and external relations, WTO rules, trade and development, trade and environment, trade in services and investment, trade facilitation, trade policy analysis and trade-related technical assistance.
Applicants interested in the YPP programme will find further details on a dedicated information page（可点击“阅读原文”）. Candidates must be from developing and least-developed countries that are members of the WTO and under-represented in the WTO Secretariat. The online application form can be accessed on the WTO e-Recruitment website（可点击“阅读原文”） and should be completed no later than 29 May 2020
General functions
The selected young professionals are allocated to a specific division of the WTO Secretariat in accordance with the needs and priorities of the organization and based on the areas of interest of the young professional. The areas of work may include accessions, agriculture, dispute settlement, intellectual property rights, market access, rules, trade and development, trade and environment, trade in services and investment, trade facilitation, trade policy analysis and trade-related technical assistance.
Duration
One year without possibility of extension.
Remuneration and benefits
Participants under the programme receive a monthly salary of CHF 3,500. The WTO also provides appropriate medical cover and travel costs.
A candidate must:
be a national of a WTO member state
have an advanced university degree in law, economics, and other international trade-related subjects relevant to WTO work
have a minimum of two years' relevant experience
demonstrate a high level of interest in international trade and commitment to WTO-related work
be fluent in English. A good working knowledge of one of the WTO's other official languages, French or Spanish, would be an advantage
be 32 years of age or younger at the expected start date of the YPP, if selected.
Preference is given to nationals from WTO members without any representation at the professional level in the Secretariat. A list of unrepresented WTO members will be provided when the request for applicants is posted.
Additional information
Being a young professional does not entail the right to a vacancy in another part of the Secretariat. Young professionals may nevertheless apply for external vacancies.
