The prac­ti­cal skills and knowl­edge that our stu­dents gain from the short course pro­gramme in social pro­tec­tion make them well sought after in a diverse range of in-demand employ­ment sec­tors. Although all fields can ben­e­fit from the exper­tise of a spe­cial­ist in social pro­tec­tion, the more field-spe­cif­ic areas in which recent grad­u­ates have been employed include:

• social secu­ri­ty insti­tu­tions such as health insur­ance funds, pen­sion funds and unem­ploy­ment funds
• pri­vate insur­ance firms
• inter­na­tion­al orga­ni­za­tions and devel­op­ment agen­cies
• min­istries and gov­ern­ment bod­ies that focus on var­i­ous areas of social pro­tec­tion, from social secu­ri­ty and com­mu­ni­ty devel­op­ment to edu­ca­tion and health
• non-gov­ern­ment ser­vice providers or advi­sories
• pri­vate con­sul­tan­cy firms
• tech­nol­o­gy start-ups with a focus on the health sec­tor
