Description
Through its training program, ZIF pursues two objectives: to screen and assess candidates for ZIF’s pool of German civilian professionals for deployment to international peace operations, and to provide field-oriented preparation for personnel in such operations.
ZIF offers basic peacekeeping, specialization, and election observation courses. All courses focus on the practical preparation for work in a peace operation, based on mission experience and lessons learned. The core target group is primarily German professionals whose profiles match the selection criteria of international organizations for their field missions; however, the courses are also open to a limited number of international participants.
Developing and maintaining a national pool of civilian professionals is one of ZIF’s core tasks. From this pool, suitable candidates for positions in peace operations are selected in close coordination with the relevant departments of the Federal Foreign Office. Depending on the recruitment procedure utilized by the particular international organization, ZIF then either nominates candidates directly or supports their independent application. To facilitate rapid and targeted selection and deployment of personnel, ZIF uses a specifically designed online database.
