Civil Peace Service as a profession

For those interested in peace and conflict work, we run orientation seminars several times a year. These provide insights into the work and fields of activity of the Civil Peace Service (CPS). CPS is the principal German policy instrument of public-civil society peacebuilding efforts in crisis and conflict contexts.

Working in Civil Peace Service

Learn – among others through a direct exchange with (former) experts – which qualifications and skills you need for activities in conflict contexts and what opportunities exist for a professional career and/or lateral entry.

A broad range of careers

From human rights monitoring to setting up structures for dialogue and cooperation to dealing with the past or working with trauma: the work contexts and tasks of a peace and conflict consultant within Civil Peace Service are manifold. However, what they all have in common is close cooperation with local partner organisations. Whether you are a young professional or a career changer with professional experience, civil conflict transformation and peacebuilding offers a broad range of career options for various professional paths.

Professional skills

If you are considering professional peace and conflict work as a career goal, it is important to be aware of your skills, your personal and professional goals as well as needs for professional development. Hence, this seminar focuses on the professional circumstances of the participants and will look at skills and competencies required by relevant organisations as well as options for further qualification in the area of Civil Peace Service.
