A Career with Foundation for Inclusive Education

At the Foundation for Inclusive Education (FIED), we believe that meaningful work transforms both the individual and the community. We welcome people from diverse backgrounds—educators, social workers, IT specialists, WASH experts, communication officers, and peace advocates—to build fulfilling careers and internships with us. Joining FIED means more than holding a position; it means becoming part of a small but determined team working at the grassroots level to dismantle barriers to education and social justice in Cameroon. Every role, whether full-time or temporary, directly contributes to ensuring that children with disabilities and other marginalized groups gain access to quality schooling, clean water, hygiene facilities, and digital tools. For professionals and trainees alike, FIED offers a rare opportunity to see tangible impact: higher school retention rates, newly trained teachers using adaptive methods, and communities gradually shifting from exclusion to inclusion.

A Supportive and Developmental Internship Experience

Our internship program is designed for students, recent graduates, and career-changers who seek hands-on experience in the development sector. Interns at FIED are not relegated to peripheral tasks; instead, they are integrated into active projects—from organizing inclusive education workshops in rural schools to assisting with IT resource centers or helping document peacebuilding dialogues. Under the mentorship of Executive Director Nkegoah Ebenezer and senior staff, interns develop practical skills in project coordination, monitoring and evaluation, community mobilization, grant writing, and advocacy. We also prioritize reflective learning, providing regular feedback sessions and opportunities to lead small-scale initiatives. Many former interns have gone on to secure roles with international NGOs, government education departments, or have joined FIED permanently, citing the foundation's nurturing yet challenging environment as a turning point in their professional lives.

A Welcoming, Ethical, and Inclusive Workplace

FIED is committed to being a model of the inclusion we preach. We actively recruit individuals with disabilities, women, and members of marginalized communities, ensuring our team reflects the populations we serve. We offer flexible working arrangements, reasonable accommodations, and a culture of mutual respect where every voice is heard. Career staff benefit from ongoing professional development opportunities, including training in inclusive pedagogy, assistive technology, and conflict-sensitive programming. Interns receive a modest stipend where possible,
