The ISSA is an organization
partnered with 29 countries to bring quality care and experiences to children
in these communities. They have a host of services they offer other agencies as
well as parents around the world whose children may not be enrolled in an early
education setting. They offer a child centered setting with teachers acting as
facilitators in the classroom to provide a nurturing learning environment. This
is very similar to the kind of center I want to build and the challenge I
chose. I want families to be involved on some level even if their child is not
enrolled in the center. They have offices all over the world with their main
offices in Amsterdam and Budapest.
The Organization for Economic
Co-operation and Development gives information on how to improve the economy by
promoting policies that will are best for the social well being of people
around the world. They provide research and evidence to governments around the
world to help decide how to proceed with the policies that will benefit
everyone. They accept people from many educational backgrounds to help broaden
their perspective on issues affecting all. They want people who are highly
educated and have shown successful performance and results at other
organizations. This would be a great organization to be a part of because the economy
is very important to all of us. It would give better information on how policies
are created and what they base their information on to create these policies.
They have a host of jobs that you can apply for and currently have 33 job
openings in Paris.
The UNESCO is an organization that seeks to bring global
peace to both men and women through helping to wipe out poverty, sustaining
development and intercultural dialogue through education, science and cultural
competency. They focus on issues in Africa and gender equality around the
world. That is why this organization interested me. Issues in Africa have
always been of interest to me and being an African American female has given me
a very interesting perspective on gender equality. They offer a host of
resources and research on gender equality issues and Africa's access to education.
They want to employ people who have understand global issues, can work with
other nations to have continued dialogue about their concerns and make a commitment
to work with a strong team. They need people who are knowledgeable in global
and cultural issues. They have a host of positions such as translators,
temporary staff in a particular field, interns and associate experts who are
required to be at least 32 and a national of a country that contributes to the
Associate Experts' Scheme.
