"When you work at the ICRC, you know that every effort you make helps ease someone’s suffering"

The ICRC, through the learning and development package, covered an important part of the registration fees for an Advanced Master on Cybersecurity and Data Protection.
They also granted me days to study during my work time, offering additional support.
Clementine, Deputy Data Protection Officer
Working for the ICRC is a fantastic human adventure!
I have already learned so much from my colleagues—about the job and about myself.
Working with people from such different experiences constantly makes you reset your mind.
I have learned there are different truths to everything.

Nathalie, Anesthetist
Even in an office job, I can contribute to shed light on the dire reality millions of people affected by conflicts live in daily—often forgotten.
This is what drives me: the shared sense of purpose and knowing that together, we make a difference for people experiencing some of the worst moments of their lives.

Andrea, Communications Coordinator
I recently joined the ICRC and I have been impressed by the welcoming and supportive environment here!
Colleagues from all over the world have taken the time to share their work with me.
What stood out is the genuine interest everyone takes in each other's work, which comes from the commitment everybody feels towards the mission.
