International Roles in the ECE Community

International Organizations

 

The first one I chose to explore was Save The Children Organization, "We save children's lives; we fight for their rights; we help them fulfill their potential" (Save the Children). The job that I explored was Child Protection Advisor They work with the partners, so they can get a breakthrough for the children to be treated the way they should, and to be able to change their lives. The child Protection Advisor will be responsible for giving technical guidance to field base teams, and to make sure that there are high-quality activities implemented. They are also the ones that develop proposals and securing that there is funding for the programs. The job requirements are a master or Bachelor's  Degree in social work, Human Rights, or relevant field. Need to have good interpersonal skills and have the ability to communicate clearly and effectively at all levels. The main thing is you are going to have to know how to speak in more than one language to get your point across to everyone.

 

The second one I chose to explore was Unicef organization, "We believe that nurturing and caring for children are the cornerstones of human progress" (Unicef). This article talks about so many things they do to help the children. They talked about poverty, aids, hunger and several others. The job I chose to explore is "Basic Education and Gender Quality" this is one that would go hand and hand with the degree that I am exploring. I could also give these children the education they all deserve. There might be some more training depending on what I know about their culture and what I need to do the job the right way.

 

The last one I chose to explore was Academy for education development Organization, this is an organization that want to "improve lives by generating, sharing, and applying knowledge"(Academy for Educational Development). The job I chose to explore is the Technical Advisor, the requirements are a masters degree or a PhD in international communication. Minimum of 10 years or more experience. Need to have strong written and verbal skills, and have knowledge in the Arabic and Jordan is a must. Would need to have more education or training in this country and what they are all about.
