A Career With International Charities? by durobraham(f): 10:34pm On Jan 17, 2012 |
Just wondering-is there anyone here who's making a career of charity work and can give advice on how to begin. Most job ads relating to charities are seeking experienced people or people with advanced degrees. I would like to know what opportunities are open to people with first degrees in this field and how to get the required experience? Help! somebody?anybody? |

I believe given your educational background, it's probably a good idea to consider building experience by joining a local human rights group with international links. This way, you can build on your network and experience that will eventually prove relevant to future career. On the other hand, if your main interest is in the line of development, then you may need to gain exposure to this field through a postgraduate degree/diploma in international development courses or social science courses. A course in Agric development or economics will be mostly favoured, Learning a foreign language will also be quite useful as well as demonstrating love for travel. I know companies like prosperity initiative (http://prosperityinitiative.org/) love to hire people with Agric development/social sciences background for development roles. |
