© 2008 Training and Career Development Section ~ Bureau of Human Resources Management ~ UNESCO “Branding”/Image Criteria: Marketing potential - Career Development programme branding UNESCO 'corporate' (for lack of a better word) identity - bear in mind gender/geography/organizational mandate Project identity - What does career development look like? “Appropriate” connotations and no negative connotations. (e.g., images that would overemphasise link between career development and “promotion” were eliminated). Key words: people, organization, planning, strategy, future, technology, HR, development, international, strength, soar... Aesthetics - Visual impact Printability/“photocopiability” – colour and B&W, print/online.
