A Career That Makes a Difference
People choose a career in international development for different reasons: to develop a stimulating professional life; to travel; to teach and to learn; and to make a difference by contributing to change.
No matter what motivates you to work in international development, it's a great way to work with people in developing countries as they make a better life for themselves and their community. It’s a great way to become a global citizen.
Something for Everyone
Canadians who want to work in international development have several options. They can work with:
- the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA);
- a non-governmental organization (NGO); or
- a CIDA-supported multilateral organization.
Young people can find internships in international development through the International Youth Internship Program.
Those interested in volunteering for overseas work can contact NGOs directly or investigate the Volunteer Canada site.
