The Integrated Mission Induction Training (IMIT) is mandatory for all individually recruited peacekeeping personnel (including military, police, international and national civilian staff and UN Volunteers) upon arrival in the mission. The Integrated Mission Induction Training serves as an introductory programme for providing new entrants into peacekeeping missions with an overview of missions’ goals and mandates; sensitising on issues of importance to the UN and the mission; and ensuring that they are aware of matters essential to their health, safety & security.

Specialised Induction |
|
|---|---|---|
|
The Integrated Mission Induction Training is conducted for new entrants (military, police, international/national civilians & UN Volunteers) into peacekeeping missions. These are personnel that are individually recruited. Focus of the induction is on the missions’ goals and mandates, issues of importance to the UN and the mission, and those essential for health, safety & security of mission personnel. A similar programme called the HQ Induction is held for DPO/DOS Headquarters staff upon arrival at United Nations Headquarters in New York. |
In addition to the Integrated Mission Induction Training, Specialised Induction may be conducted for different components to further share information on specific issues needed for fulfilling their tasks.
Note: The above Specialised Induction is only for individually recruited personnel. Dedicated awareness generation sessions may be held by some contingents only to supplement mission-specific information received during the Pre-deployment Training (PDT). Such sessions do not have to be held upon arrival, but periodically during the tour of duty. |
Self-paced Online Induction Courses |
|
In keeping with the overall objective of strengthening staff awareness about crosscutting issues of importance to the UN and peacekeeping missions, and to facilitate staff integration into the system, there are self-paced online courses, as below, that could be taken by new staff just before entry into missions or as part of the induction training package. The major contents of the courses which have been adapted for mission use are drawn from the Core Pre-deployment Training Materials (CPTM) for peacekeeping personnel.

Training or learning activity for military, police, or civilian peacekeeping personnel undertaken during their duty assignment, subsequent to induction, either at Headquarters or in a peacekeeping mission. It may include "refresher" training for reinforcing previous individual or collective training and "on-the-job training" to address gaps in attributes, skills and knowledge or enhance skills in various areas and at different stages of deployment. It may be based on individual, mission or organisational needs.
Mandatory Training |
|
Other Training |
|---|---|---|
|
The Organisation requires that all mission personnel, including uniformed peacekeepers, take some mandatory courses during their duty assignment. There are other courses also required to be undertaken by certain groups of personnel as per guidance to be received in the mission. Both sets of courses are accessible in various ways. Some are available online through the INSPIRA learning management system, the main platform for tracking and recording completion of mandatory courses, and others taken face-to-face. To register log into INSPIRA, go to Main Menu – Self-service – Learning – My Learning. |
Please contact your mission’s Integrated Mission Training Centre (IMTC) or training focal points for the schedule and other details of the trainings. |
In-mission training refers to all training activities and learning initiatives undertaken after deployment to missions, by military, police, or civilian peacekeeping personnel. It includes induction training delivered on arrival, to equip peacekeepers with knowledge of issues considered to be important to the UN and the mission and sharing of information required by incoming personnel to enhance their early integration into the system. It also includes ongoing training activities undertaken during their duty assignment, subsequent to induction.
