Read an excerpt from the Vault Career Guide to International Development


International development is a profession unlike any other. Although modern international development has more than half a century of history, the practice of development is constantly evolving and the industry is currently in the midst of major changes that have the potential to improve the lives of billions of people.

Development professionals are working in every country in the world to address issues including human rights, health, economic growth, environment conservation and many others. As a profession, few career choices can match international development for the sheer range of the industry, challenge of the work or relevancy to the world?s population. In recent years the need for coordinated and comprehensive sustainable development has been center-stage in world politics due to increasing awareness of both the issues and the consequences.

Development champions including academics such as Jeffrey Sachs, businesspeople like Bill Gates, politicians and celebrities have helped bring international development to the forefront of policy and economic discussion. At the same time, the world has become more globalized, with constant reminders that the problems of the developing world can and do affect the entire world.
