Why Choose HOPE (Humanitarian Operations)?
Every employer looks for candidates with experience, and now more than ever the experience must be up to date. What is going to set you apart from the hundreds of other job applicants that apply alongside you? Have you worked on something that is going to drop jaws?
At HOPE we offer the most valuable, differentiating experience available to those looking to begin or advance their chosen careers. We either hire our team members or celebrate the day they get their opportunity to do exactly what they studied for and to excel at what they have experience in doing with us.
Those members of our team that have left to take up employment elsewhere have taken up positions of relative seniority. We help create leaders, as long as you are prepared to work for that goal.
Experience comes in all shapes and sizes, but none like the experience HOPE will offer you. Everything we do uses next generation technology and applications. The work you will be doing is admiral and will allow you to gain a degree of respect from your potential recruitment officer because you will be working on something of charitable necessity. During potential job interviews you will be able to demonstrate your ability by showing published work created as part of a team. This is real experience that will set you apart!

About HOPE
Humanitarian Operations (HOPE), was established in 2004 and is dedicated to eradicating educational inequality. Every child in the world should have equal opportunity to become numerate and have the ability to read and type, regardless of their background or nationality, and without prejudice.
This should be done using the latest entertainment technology, thus enabling each lesson to come to life and envelop children, globally for free for those who cannot contribute financially.
