Africa UN staff news

Abstract

Setting up a policy and a strategy with regard to continuing staff training and career planning - this is the aim of a special FICSA meeting in Paris from 22-25 June 1974. The recent FICSA Council in Washington had decided upon the Symposium. The UNESCO Staff Association will host. The staff had pressed for the introduction of a system of career planning linked with an adequate training system enabling the staff to maintain and improve their particular skills and to acquire new ones. Progress had been made with regard to language training, initial briefing and recently, professional studies. The Symposium is expected to take stock of the present situation, to serve as a clearinghouse for arguments and suggestions and to condense them into an authoritativ0 position paper and practical proposals.
