Language Programmes at UNHQ

https://hr.un.org/page/online-language-learning Multilingual staff members are essential to the Organization. The six UNHQ language programmes create courses for all staff to promote and sustain multilingualism, to enhance professional communication skills and to raise multicultural awareness in the official languages: Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian and Spanish. We also offer different levels of services and support for learning managers in charge of language learning in UN offices and duty stations worldwide.

The Language and Communications Training Unit at UNHQ – head teachers, teachers and administrators – serves the language learning needs of approximately 3000 staff and diplomats at UNHQ each term. Further, the growing web-based courses are created to meet language learning needs of all UN Secretariat staff at large.
