Closing Date: December 12,2012:
Catholic Relief Services'
International Development Fellows Program (IDFP) gives people who are
interested in a career in international relief and development an opportunity
to increase their overseas experience and gain exposure to our programs. Each
year, CRS places approximately 25 Fellows with our country programs overseas.
Assignments are for one year, starting in late summer. Specific job
responsibilities vary greatly from one country to another depending on the
country program's focus (Agriculture, Health, Peacebuilding, Education,
Microfinance, or a combination of these). The goal of the IDFP is to place
Fellows in positions where they can draw on their previous education and work
experience, while broadening their skills. Many of our fellowships lead to
regular positions with Catholic Relief Services.
