The first organization I reviewed was the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), which is designed to “promote policies to improve social and economic conditions for people” (OECD, 2013). The OECD currently provides a Young Professionals Program, which helps to develop people to work with the organization. This is similar to an intern program, and people are required to have a business degree and some management skills. I would like to enroll in this program to find job opportunities and to work with people around the world.
The United Nations Education, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) is an international organization that helps to conduct research and improve communications among different nations” (UNESCO, 2011). The organization primarily focuses on combating poverty and developing peace. One of the jobs offered by the organization is program manager. The organization also provides membership for people who want to contribute to its efforts. I would like to work for this organization because I want to help combat poverty and work with third world countries.
My third organization is Save the Children. This is a well-known organization that accepts donations to improve the lives of children around the world (Save the Children, 2012). The organization has a position that is currently open for a Resource Manager. According to the job opportunities on the website, the manager must have management skills and be capable of securing resources and funding for the organization. I have actually made donations to this organization. Therefore, I would love to work with Save the Children to help combat poverty and other issues facing children in the world. I believe that combating poverty can improve the quality of early childhood education.

Tammy,
ReplyDeleteEach organization you reviewed does amazing things to help children internationally. Would you be willing to travel globally to help children? From a health standpoint, I am not able to travel to certain countries. If I were able, it would be nice to make a difference elsewhere and experience different cultures.
