Jobs/Roles in the ECE Community: Internationally


The first organization of interest is the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) also known as United Nations Children Fund is a global organization created to improve the lives of children around the world affected by poverty, disease, violence, and discrimination.   I took an interest to this organization because of its promotion to girls’education.  The UNICEF educate girls on how to better themselves in parenting and contributors to society. 

Currently there are not any open positions in my area.  However, an opening in New York for an Education Specialist appealed to the most.  The position is responsible for the overall management and coordination of UNICEF contributions to Global Partnership for Education processes.  Several aspects of the position I found appealing include, proposal developing, implementation, management support, quality management, communications with Regional and Country offices, program and policy work.  A master’s in Education or Social Services is required and 8 years of relevant work experience in the national and international levels in programme management.  I do not meet all the desired qualifications.

The second organization is the FHI360. This organization works with individuals and communities to reach their highest potential and tackle their own challenges.  FHI360 programs uses evidence and real experiences to make the strongest impacts to individuals and communities.  I chose of this organization because of its programs to support the learning and development of children to adulthood.

A grantee specialist-fiscal position is open and appeals to me.  It is located in Washington DC and is seeking an individual to lead designs, development, planning, and implementation of fiscal operation.  Also responsible for the fiscal management and principles that support Head Start programs.  A four-year degree is required and a masters is preferred.  10 years of financial management experience is also required.

The third organization is the International Step by Step Association (ISSA) is an organization with global reach from Central and Eastern Europe to Central Asia, and the United States.  ISSA promotes equality and access to quality education for all children.  ISSA supports child-centered learning and family participation.  I also like that the organization offers online courses for preschool and kindergarten educators.

This is a membership organization and I did not find any job openings on the site.
