Finding jobs and working in Humanitarian Aid
Here are a few links to websites and blogs on finding work in humanitarian aid.
First and foremost for many of these jobs is experience and training! Our May 21-25 training in Global Development and Humanitarian Aid could be your first step. You'll not only learn about humanitarian aid, legal frameworks for refugees and more, but take part in a 24 hour simulation and learn more about the communication, collaboration and creative problem solving skills it takes to work in the field (and Excel!)
