Project scope
What is the main goal for this project?

About Us: PATHFINDER consults with Business, Academia and Policy for innovative solutions in Sustainable Development. We create solutions to enable the world’s most vulnerable through our unique three-pronged approach: by simultaneously influencing social entrepreneurship, academics, and policy.

Project Details: We are looking to work with students or individuals to further develop a policy paper with a refugee focus targeted at multi-national organizations, national governments and policymakers, and regional social entrepreneurs.

What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?

To meet the deliverables, the students will be required to research, develop, and edit a policy paper with a refugee focus. The scope of work is not limited by the paper. It may also include project support, business development, and communications.

Requirements:

- Excellent research skills

- Excellent writing skills (English)

- Ability to work effectively and autonomously

- Good communication skills (i.e, clear and concise emails, efficient response time, etc)

- Good visual presentation skills (i.e, Microsoft PowerPoint)

- Good attention to detail

How will you support learners in completing the project?

We will provide feedback on your work. We can share insights into the international development sector. This is an excellent opportunity for any student/professional who wishes to pursue a career in social entrepreneurship, policy, or academia within an international development context.

If successful, we would be happy to provide a reference letter.

What skills or technologies will help learners to complete the project?

Students should be familiar with:

  • research
