Interested in International Development – Short Assignments (3 – 5 Months) Available with CUSO

Being an ex-CUSO volunteer in Nigeria and later a CUSO Field Staff Officer in Ghana, I encourage individuals to have a look at what CUSO International has to offer by way of assignments. These days both e-volunteering and international placement are available, so too are placements in the North of Canada. See the information below that I pulled from an email received today.

The links in the BLOCKS below do not work but you can see what openings are currently available and where. To see all available openings scroll down to the bottom of this post.

This April, discover flexible volunteer placements designed to create meaningful impact through shorter 3-5 month opportunities combined with e-volunteering options. Our latest placements focus on economic resilience, inclusive growth, and private-sector engagement, supporting partners to strengthen inclusive policies, advance gender equality, and support entrepreneurship and workforce development. We’re seeking Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) and skills-based professionals, including Curriculum Advisors for the mining sector, to help reskill and upskill individuals and support youth employment.  Indigenous individuals are especially encouraged to apply for our Youth Sports & Recreation Coordinator placement in Northern Canada, supporting youth wellbeing and community development.  If you’ve never volunteered with Cuso International before, this is a great time to start. There’s a placement ready to take you somewhere new, professionally and personally!
