Careers
How can your professional skills further the renewal of the world?
Though we are a movement primarily for university students, the professionalism, skill and experience of individuals already established in a career is a needed benefit, particularly in our National Headquarters in Ottawa.
Perhaps you are already working but looking to use your skill set for the Church. Maybe you are not experiencing the fulfillment you thought you would in your current career and are longing for purpose and meaning in your work. Perhaps you are retired from your career and are ready and able to give your time and talent in a mission setting. Regardless of what led you here, your unique work experience is needed to further the fulfillment of the Great Commission. There are many opportunities in our different departments, such as Finance, Development, Human Resources, Media, and Marketing.
“The thing I get most excited about working for CCO is seeing lives changed. Hundreds and thousands of lives changed every year by the Holy Spirit coming and bringing them home to the Church in relationship with Jesus.
Working for CCO is an opportunity to use your professional skills and experience for the renewal of the world. Building up the church in her mission of evangelization, and welcoming people home”
- Jeremy Rude, BBA, VP of Administration
“What is very exciting for me is that I would have this chance to take all of my life experience and bring it to the most important mission in the world, and that is: to bring people into a personal relationship with Jesus. That I could take the gifts, the talents, the experiences, my successes and my failures to come and help the fulfillment of the Great Commission… that the Lord would use me to expand the already amazing impact that CCO is having… is awesome! I love coming to work everyday!”
- Chris Keyes, B.Admin., M.A. Theology, VP of Programming, 20 years experience in senior leadership roles in tech companies

Support Raising
Each CCO missionary has the privilege of completely relying on God’s providence. Our missionaries develop their own team of financial and prayer supporters who contribute directly to the funds for their salary. We call this Support Team Partnership Development or support raising.
Support raising may seem daunting. However, each of our over 100 missionaries, as well as our more than 30 years of CCO history, are living witnesses to the fact that it is possible.
CCO has an excellent support-raising training program that teaches you not only how to raise funds effectively but also instills the key attitudes and mindsets that drive our paradigm of living by providence. This training takes place after you have been hired, in preparation for you to begin your role in CCO, and includes weekly coaching sessions with a support-raising coach throughout your fundraising.
As a CCO missionary, our Support Team Partnership Development (STPD) is not a means to an end. It is an opportunity to take the gospel to other people. Every person you encounter will have an opportunity to hear the Lord’s message through your witness of relying on His providence and being abandoned to Him. We feel called to have every single person encounter Jesus in a personal way. Our mission field is not only on campuses and through our parish and diocesan coaching relationships, but also in every visit we have with a potential supporter.
As you make the leap into support raising, CCO wants to set you up for success. That is why we also have various bridge-funding options to make the transition as smooth as possible and tailored to your own situation and needs.
There are many legitimate reasons someone would choose not to apply for staff, and we work hard to ensure support raising isn’t one of them.
CCO is a recognized leader in organizational culture recognized in the Catholic sphere.
