The recent executive actions that have impacted foreign assistance have altered the day-to-day work of our local and global partners and determining what to do next while navigating this transition can be taxing and overwhelming. At this time, we've shifted our programming to provide support for those whose roles have been directly affected by the freeze on foreign assistance, as well as anyone looking to transition careers in the industry. This resource page includes job and career tools, resources, and relevant upcoming events or recordings from the community.

Additionally, our Professional Development Hub, an online resource library designed to help jobseekers and professionals advance in their career, is currently live and free to access. We originally launched the Professional Development Hub (PDH) in February of 2024 and have added many new recordings over the past year, now featuring over 20 different flash talks on a variety of professional development topics. Learn more and sign up here.

We encourage you to check back often as we continue to update this page.

Please note that if you were an employee of an Institutional Member organization and have been recently furloughed or let go from your role, we are granting an automatic extension of member benefits through the end of the fiscal year (June 30, 2025) for you to continue accessing the SID-US network.
