The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) is an international organisation that works to build better policies for better lives. Our goal is to shape policies that foster prosperity, equality, opportunity and well-being for all. We draw on almost 60 years of experience and insights to better prepare the world of tomorrow. Together with governments, policy makers and citizens, we work on establishing evidence-based international standards and finding solutions to a range of social, economic and environmental challenges. From improving economic performance and creating jobs to fostering strong education and fighting international tax evasion, we provide a unique forum and knowledge hub for data and analysis, exchange of experiences, best-practice sharing, and advice on public policies and international standard-setting. The OECD will be discussing the entry points into the organization: The Young Associates Program (YPP), the Internship Program, and full-time employment.
Overview of State Department Foreign Service career tracks (generalist and specialist) and our hiring process, including details about the written and oral assessment procedures.
Information on full-time, career employment and additional information regarding internship and fellowship opportunities with the U.S. Department of State.
