International Organizations and Employment Opportunities –
EDUC 6990
I have been looking for various jobs that would go with the
experience and the education level that I hopefully will be able to achieve by
the ending of this year.
The examples given for blog assignment for week 6 included
UNICEF, Save the Children, International Step by Step Association, just to name
a few. I have visited the UNICEF website and have heard of the many
accomplishments this organization has achieved when it comes to helping
children.
UNICEF believes: All children have a right to survive,
thrive and fulfill their potential – to the benefit of a better world that
means equal access to services and care that can make all the difference in
children’s lives. It means working to achieve gender fairness and equality.
UNICEF works for a world in which every child has a fair chance in life. This
humanitarian and development agency works globally for the rights of every
child.
With this agency, I did not find any job that I would be
qualified for, there is currently 1 permanent position listed which is Deputy
Chief of Staff, other positions listed for UNICEF is temporary not to exceed 11
months.
Save the Children is another organization that gives children in the United States and around the
world what every child deserves -- a healthy start, the opportunity to learn
and care when disaster strikes. We save children's lives. This non-profit
organization handles: Child Protection, Child Sponsorship, Education, Emergency
Response, Health and Nutrition, Hunger and Livelihoods and HIV and AIDS.
This
organization I was able to find a job that I would be qualified for Director
National Head Start Program. This job requires a Masters along with experience.
Searching for new jobs seem scary, but I guess that comes with the territory. I
am comfortable right now and I would like a challenge and a position such as
the one listed above is definitely out of my comfort zone.
ISSA
International Step by Step Association – I did not find any positions listed on
this website. Their mission for this non-governmental organization is to
provide high quality care and educational services for all children from birth
to 10 years old, with a focus on the poorest and most disadvantaged ensure
greater inclusion of family and community participation in children’s
development and learning, and to ensure social inclusion and respect for
diversity.
