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

Robin,
From the last post I think everyone is on the same page with the same organizations. The techinal advisor's job is a that is a little about our heads but I am quite sure the level or work and the job responsibility would be interesting. I do not have a PhD, but to work on that level would help us all get better understandings of how to communicate better and have a strong verbal skill, even if we are not Arabic.
Robin,
Your choices in the international community were very interesting. Save the Children is a very popular organization and does some much needed services for children. If you are ever really interested in AED they have been taken over by FHI 360, the company I currently work for. AED had some fiscal issues and were no longer eligible to receive government funding. FHI 360 has a lot of international projects as well as positions here in the United States. Good Luck with all of your future endeavors.

Robin,
We have some similarities in organizations we selected. I personally like the UNICEF, this organization has been around for years and is truly dedicated to the education and nutrition of children and families all around the world. The job I selected was the education specialist. This blog assignment has really opened my mind to job opportunities outside of the country and I am really interested in exploring the opportunity.
Thanks for sharing.
Sonia
