Non –profit organizations rely on resource development to address their needs for funds and human resources in order to carry out their projects and realize their goals.  Work in resource development can be both challenging and rewarding.  It demands a high level of commitment and responsibility on the one hand but also offers the opportunity to work from home (at least part of the time) with flexible hours. It involves many diverse skills including good communication skills, marketing skills, interpersonal skills, and can be at times very creative. Shatil is offering a 12 meeting (54 hours in all) training course for beginners in this field that will also include a meeting on practical advice on how to find a job in this field.
