Community Development Educator

Recent graduates and business professionals are invited to support Colombia’s next generation of entrepreneurs. Rural and semi‑urban communities in Colombia face persistent economic disparities. These challenges are driven by institutional factors—such as unequal access of quality education, health care, and public services—as well as socio-spatial barriers.

With only 16% of rural households having internet, the significant digital divide impacts available opportunities. The Government of Colombia is prioritizing financial literacy and entrepreneurship skill development among youth and women to encourage economic participation and growth in these underserved areas. As a Community Development Educator, you will collaborate with schools, vocational training institutions, and community groups to develop essential business skills.

You will also support micro-enterprises, such as vendors and small-scale agricultural producers, to streamline and scale their operations. These efforts will create more economic opportunities, which will improve household financial security and contribute to long-term economic growth.
