Career
Candidates will gain both theoretical understanding and practical field experience that will prepare for employment related to innovation for sustainable development. This includes everything from the assessing the impact of innovation on development issues, to fostering social entrepreneurship for human development, to guiding innovative policy-making for sustainability in large institutions. Innovation skills – combined with a practical knowledge of how SDGs are being implemented worldwide - are increasingly strategic for both public and private sector institutions as well as in the UN, other IGOs and NGOs. Since a growing number of private companies, organisations and (national/regional/municipal) administrations are promoting the SDGs in what they do these days, job opportunities are growing fast.
