Introduction
The Blue Line is a UNSSC's value-driven learning community of over 60,000 UN colleagues, created by the UN, for the UN. Tailored for UN personnel who want flexibility, relevance and career support, this subscription gives you access to a curated learning experience that evolves with your professional journey.
Objectives
Upon successful completion of the programme, participants will be able to:
- Translate vision into action by planning strategically, managing for results and allocating resources wisely.

- Lead high-performing teams through effective motivation, coaching and performance management.
- Manage programmes confidently using proven leadership, delegation and risk-management practices.
- Leverage data analytics and evaluation insights to strengthen decisions, improve results and drive accountability.
Course methodology
The learning experience is structured around the following components:
- A micro-learning experience characterized by small knowledge units (modules and micro-lessons) where participants consolidate and reflect on learnings through the creation of micro-content (multimodal forum replies, blog posts, etc.).
- Scenario-based learning exposes participants to real-life challenges and tasks of UN managers.
- Consolidation of takeaways through reflective practices and social learning to facilitate information exchange and peer-to-peer learning.
You can start at any time and choose the learning components that best fit your needs. Complete the modules and activities at your own pace, and sign up for upcoming new modules.
The Blue Line provides a structured, multi-reward learning experience. As you progress, you will earn badges and certificates that reflect the competencies and knowledge you have acquired in your learning journey.
