IR Career Starters - June 2026
255 opportunities in international relations
With summer knocking on the door and graduation season upon us, it is a pleasure to ship out the latest edition of IR Career Starters!
While I am taking a bit of vacation these days, there has been lots of stuff going on recently, with a full week of first aid, hostile environment awareness training and conduct after capture training in anticipation of more work in crises and conflicts in the coming years, and after a few months of waiting, a new government here in Denmark.
Hostile Environment Awareness Training (HEAT):
Intensive security training preparing personnel to operate safely in high-risk and conflict environments, covering situational awareness, personal security, risk assessment, movement planning, first aid under fire, and responses to incidents such as ambushes, checkpoints, and evacuation.
Conduct After Capture (CAC):
Specialised training focused on behaviour and survival if detained or kidnapped, including stress management, communication strategies, legal and ethical obligations, resistance to exploitation, and techniques to preserve physical and psychological well-being until release.
It is my third refresher for these courses, and while there is a lot of repetition, it’s always good to polish these things; it’s very easy to become complacent and comfortable with exposure, and it’s a nice chance to spend time with great colleagues!
For those interested in working in complex security settings, these will be mandatory courses for almost any organisation hiring you. They are costly, so typically it’s not courses you should seek out on your own, but there are basic online courses you can take, such as the UN BSAFE, for those interested.
I quite enjoy professional development and actively pursue it, so it’s maybe natural that I am working on the concept for a new guide article on this topic; specifically aimed at using independent coursework and certifications to help maintain the red thread between graduation and landing the first position.
I am very keen to hear your views on what could be useful to cover in such an article and what concrete skills you have (had) to seek out after graduating, so drop a comment below!
All the best,
Alex
