Business Outlook

Pros

A good programme to gain international exposure and field experience in a wide array of regions.

Cons

Low salary (especially when in Vienna), no additional benefits, short term contracts (9 months only, as compared to the UN's JPO) and no possibility to extend the contract. There are no possibilities to continue with the OSCE given that there are rare opportunities for middle management positions (3-6 years exp.). All the trainings are useless for the organization and the JPO if they don't stay in the organization.

Pros

Security touches on many aspects of the way we live and are governed. The OSCE's comprehensive view of security covers three “dimensions”: the politico-military; the economic and environmental; and the human. The OSCE's activities cover all three of these areas, from "hard" security issues such as conflict prevention to fostering economic development, ensuring the sustainable use of natural resources, and promoting the full respect of human rights and fundamental freedoms.

Cons

Russian Federation Your country of citizenship does currently not provide the possibility of an online application for seconded positions. For more information, please contact your country's OSCE delegation
