About this Event
Considering a career in international development and want to know more?
Meet the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) team visiting from Washington, D.C. and touring Pacific Northwest colleges/universities to share info about their organization and career and internship opportunities in international development. All majors and disciplines and all undergraduate and graduate students invited to attend.
MCC currently has a presence in more 25 countries committed to good governance, economic freedom, and investment in their people to reduce poverty through economic growth. MCC projects tackle some of the most pressing challenges people face in developing countries, like supplying electricity so businesses can operate and students can study after dark; providing clean drinking water so women don’t have to walk long distances—sometimes at great personal risk—to get water for their families; and building roads so farmers can get their goods to market and children can get to school. MCC has invested approximately $17 billion in signed compact and threshold programs worldwide that support country-led projects in areas like: agriculture and irrigation, anti-corruption, education, energy and power (generation, distribution, and transmission), finance and enterprise development, health, land rights and access to land, transportation infrastructure (roads, bridges, ports), water supply and sanitation. Guided by its founding principles, MCC’s investments have successfully delivered projects that are improving the lives of millions of people around the world.
To meet the challenges of the 21st century — and beyond — MCC needs intelligent, creative, strategic-thinkers with excellent communication skills to consider a public service career. Most MCC employees serve at our Washington D.C. headquarters with ample opportunities to travel overseas. MCC opportunities are available only to U.S. citizens. More info: www.mcc.gov
