When you went up to the LSE, did you aspire to work upon graduation in far-off places for the benefit of humanity but, after returning to Switzerland and after career, family, kids and other commitments have lost track of that thought. Would you like to make your own personal contribution towards ending poverty and hunger, establishing sustainable economies, promoting peace and security and combating climate change and its impacts? Are you looking for practical advice and support to make your next career stop a permanent, temporary, sabbatical or external expert position with a multilateral development organization like the United Nations or the World Bank?
Whether you are an experienced professional or at the start of your professional career, this event is for and about you.
Take this unique opportunity to
- hear about career entry points, programmes and opportunities for all levels of work experience and seniority at the United Nations, the World Bank Group and the other multilateral development organizations
- meet and network with representatives of multilateral development organizations, the federal government and cinfo, the Swiss center of excellence for professions in international cooperation
- become part of a pool of potential candidates supported by cinfo and the federal government and receive further information on how to apply, interview and meet recruiters and hiring managers
