About CID
Our
Objective
We at CID are motivated to provide structured information regarding careers in the social impact sector for students and young
professionals in order to:
-
Help students and young professionals take an informed decision while building a career in the development space by about impact careers by removing the existing information gap
-
Help the development sector access a larger pool of talent
Currently, the content is aimed at students (undergraduate or graduate) or young professionals with 0-3 years of work experience. However, a large part of the content may also be relevant for others like experienced professionals looking to transition into the development sector (For example, the playlist on ‘How to contribute to the development sector?’).

​
Having been uninformed students who were interested in working for development but did not know where to start, we are aware of the complete lack of information that exists regarding careers in the development sector.
​
We learnt a lot about the development sector through our work and the people who were kind enough to help us along the way. We have been fortunate enough to stumble across impactful jobs that excited us and this is an initiative to give back and help others like us who might be struggling to navigate the sector.
