Jobs/Roles in the ECE Community: Internationally

 

There are many international organizations that focus on many issues that affect early childhood education. The first organization that I have researched is the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICF). This organization works with individuals and other organizations to beat poverty, violence, disease, and discrimination that affect children’s lives. They desire to improve the lives of all children. A job that I’d be interested in is a Communication Specialist because I enjoy communicating with others about things I sincerely care about and educating others how to communicate efficiently. This position’s responsibilities are to plan, execute, monitor, and evaluate current communication strategies. These strategies consist of the use of their website and other Internet sources, such as digital media and interactive storytelling. Its duties are to basically make sure all use of communicational technology runs smoothly, efficiently, effectively, and in a timely manner. I would need to be experienced at the many communicational devices and technology savvy. Click the link below to research yourself:

The second organization is Save the Children. This organization works to assist children in their daily lives and when disaster strikes. This includes poverty, hunger, disease, and illiteracy. Their mission is “to inspire breakthroughs in the way the world treats children and to achieve immediate and lasting change in their lives”. I would like to be the Senior Director of Early Childhood Development because it is a working with and educating others about ways to better children. With this job comes great responsibility. It mainly leads teams, people, and organizations in establishing and achieving set goals about assisting children. To obtain this position it would require that I have more proven education, intrapersonal, representational, and managerial skills. Click the link below to research yourself:

The last organization I’m interested in is the Academy for Educational Development (FHI 360) because this organization focuses on education for all people. Its mission is “To improve lives in lasting ways by advancing integrated, locally driven solutions for human development”. They want every human being to achieve their full potential, not just in school, but in life. One position I’m interested in is the Technical Advisor of NID (Nutrition and Infectious Disease) Coordination and FANTA (Food and Nutrition Technical Assistance). This job focuses on maternal and child health by developing projects and guidance that pertain to healthy choices. It also involves supervising fund and production of materials used for the cause. The skills that I would need are international experience, managing funds, knowledge of nutrition, and knowledge of their many programs that assist people. Click the link below to research yourself:
