International Career Development Symposium in Higher Education- Collaboration between United Nations HR Development and Kyoto University Higher Education –

The agencies of the United Nat ions system and other internat ional organizat ions are increas ingly handl ingissues of a particularly complex nature, which require a set of new skills for their staff . In order to prepare human resources capable of coping with emerging issues in these institutions, Higher Education needs to carry out a substantial modification of its curricula and structure. In this symposium, we will share practical experiences in both recruitment and career development from two UN officials, and introduce challenging examples from the university side. In addition, the establishment of new academic fields in response to evolving needs of international institutions will be discussed by introducing Kyoto University's doctoral program on Advanced Integrated Studies in Human Survivability.
