Jobs/Roles in the ECE Community: Internationally

I have always liked UNICEF ( https://www.unicef.org/), their mission to save children's lives, defend their rights, and help fulfill their potential ( Unicef.org 2018). They offer lots of services to help children in need and have several other organizations that back them. Current job opening is for a Nutrtion Officer ( https://www.unicef.org/about/employ/?job=513156) in Asia, the responsibilities are  The Deployment Officer will work closely with local Government authorities, Ministry of Health and partners in Kurigram. The officer will serve as a bridge between the project and district level by providing technical oversight, coordination, quality, uptake, and sustainability of the project as a key component of broader nutrition and health programming in the district context. Education requirements: University Degree or higher in Informational Technology, Statistics, Economics, Bioinformatics, or a related field is required. This sounds like a great job opportunity to be involved with making sure children get the proper nutrition they need to develop. 


Save the children ( https://www.savethechildren.org/) is another organization I'm fond of. Their mission is to help children around the world in need who suffer from poverty, and not getting the proper education they need. Current job offer is for a global 
Team Leader, Humanitarian Surge Team ( https://recruiting.ultipro.com/SAV1002STCF/JobBoard/7d92e82b-af74-464d-859b-c5b8cba6e92e/OpportunityDetail?opportunityId=9a586f37-2570-4654-9f37-969e11bf4bb6) The duties for this job, 
  • Assume overall oversight of country-wide or regional emergency response in collaboration with the Country Director.

Education requirements, 
  • You have a minimum 7-10 years' experience in area of expertise
  • Bachelor’s degree
  • Extensive experience of working within a senior management role within a complex  country program in an emergency response or fragile state
This job is very interesting, I don't know how I would do working in a fragile state, I get emotionally attached easily and this could be hard for me. 


The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) ( http://www.oecd.org/about/), Their mission  is to promote policies that will improve the economic and social well-being of people around the world. Current job opening, Project Co-ordinator, Partnerships and Networks Unit ( https://oecd.taleo.net/careersection/ext/jobdetail.ftl) responsibilities for this position

  • Ensure backup for the PNU assistant in her/his absence.  
  • Contribute to the preparation of reference documents (e.g. Work Programmes).
Education requirements, A university degree in business administration, communications, finance, or related field. This sounds like a fun job, developing activities to help with communication issues is something that caught my attention since my capstone topic is about effective communication.
