Jobs/Roles in the ECE Community: Internationally

The first international organization I would like to work with is UNICEF, United Nations Children's Fund. Throughout my courses here at Walden, UNICEF has always provided useful and positive information that I have been able to apply to everyday classroom situations. At UNICEF I would like to work at one of their preschools in another country. I believe that early childhood education is the foundation for a great educational career. In order to do so I would need to have at least bachelors in early childhood education, and lots of experience working with young children.

The second international organization I would like to work with International Step by Step Association or the ISSA. The things I like about ISSA is that they not only provide resources for those seeking it, but they also offer ECD classes for those that are looking to get more knowledge under their belt. I personally would like for my COP to have the same concept; To provide resources and also the tools to learn and be self sufficient. I would apply for their office manager position in Leiden/The Netherlands. Not only do I get to live in a different part of the country, but I get to see how an ISSA office is ran by being hands on. I would of course need people skills, experience in being an office manager, a degree in a field that is relevant and some basic computer skills.

The last international organization I would like to work with is the American Red Cross. I like how the American Red Cross not only provides assist to those countries that have natural disasters, but it also provides a Health and Safety Training. This is a great tool to pass along to others, for when these disasters happen, people will know what to do in order to help others until the medical professionals come. I would like to be a Trainer in one of these Health and Safety Training classes. I am all about giving back to the community. I believe that everyone has the right to be and do better and I want to be able to provide that to them. I would need the skills of health and safety, so courses on that, I would need people’s skills, and the ability to be versatile.
