October 8, 2013    career matters   5 things to anticipate at the Devex career fair in Nairobi By Kate Warren   A few months ago, I announced plans to host our first ever international development career fair in Nairobi. We have hosted successful career fairs in the past in development hubs like Washington, D.C., London and Brussels. While these remain important cities for global development activity, more and more employers are looking for talent in the field and hiring local professionals whenever possible. Now just a week out, I am happy to share that we have reached capacity, with 44 exhibitors representing internationals NGOs, consulting firms and donor agencies from around the world. The Rockefeller Foundation, our global supporter, RTI International, our premier sponsor, as well as sponsors The British Council, Catholic Relief Services, Deloitte, Engility, ICF International, Management Sciences for Health and World Vision have all been contributing to ongoing conversations on Devex about the importance of localization and its impact on global development careers and business. There is still time to apply to attend, but registration will close this Friday, October 11. For those of you attending the career fair, here are five things to look forward to at the event.
