Junior Diplomatic Training Programmes & Workshops
Creating confidence and credibility in international organisations and diplomatic communication
JUNIOR DIPLOMATIC TRAINING PROGRAMMES
Working for the Foreign Service is a career like no other. It is much more than a job; it is a uniquely demanding and rewarding way of life. As we seek to reduce friction across regions, it’s vital we offer our diplomatic training and workshops to the next generation of diplomatic thought leaders. Our junior diplomatic training programmes will facilitate your essential first steps to ensure you are future ready.
The key skills demonstrated by top diplomats are multiple and wide ranging, and are often ‘soft’ skills, so any training for junior diplomats should enhance this understanding whilst helping them to develop their personal and professional skills.
