Jobs/Roles in the ECE Community: Internationally

The first organization that I choose is UNICEF. UNICEF is a organization that works in 190 countries and territories to protect the rights of every child. UNICEF has also spent 70 years working to improve the lives of children and their families. Their belief that all children have a right to survive, thrive and fulfill their potential – to the benefit of a better world. This is my reasoning for choosing UNICEF, they are the organization that will help to strengthen families which can lead to better partnerships with educators. The job opportunity that interest me is Consultancy: Paper on universal Child grants and Dignity and Shame, SIP Section, PD - NYHQ, Requisition #515330. The qualifications consist of
An advanced degree (Master's) in social sciences, international development, or other related field;
15 years of experience in social protection, preferably with experience of research on dignity and shame in social policy and a recognised expert in the field with a strong publications record.
A minimum of ten years of progressively more responsible and high level professional work experience with gender, research, field programming and communication in international development;
Excellent writing and analytical skills, especially in synthesizing complex information for multiple audiences (UNICEF, 2018).  Although this job is out of my league, it still would be a great experience.

The second organization is Save the Children. In the U.S. and around the world, Save the Children does whatever it takes — every day and in times of crisis — to give children a healthy start in life, the opportunity to learn and protection from harm. When crisis strikes and children are most vulnerable, we are always among the first to respond and the last to leave. We ensure children's unique needs are met and their voices are heard. We deliver lasting results for millions of children, including those hardest to reach. We do whatever it takes for children — transforming their lives and the future we share — because we believe every child deserves a future (Save the Children, 2018). Making sure that children are healthy and is a great way to build partnerships with families, this is why I chose this organization. So that I can have resources to help families in need in my area. My ideal job for Save the Children is Program Specialist, Early Childhood Development. This job does not require a bachelors' degree but it is preferred. Minimum 3-5 years' experience required working with infant/toddler development and

willingness to travel 40% of time to in state sites between Los Angeles and San Bernardino counties. I love jobs where I can travel and move around a little. I also love working with smaller children so this is definitely a plus.

The third organization is Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development  or OECD. Their mission is The mission of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) is to promote policies that will improve the economic and social well-being of people around the world. This is a very important mission for educators because if the families feel secure and financially able, then they will be more amp to build partnerships and become involved with their child's education. For this organization there was not a job that interested me, therefore I did not choose one.
