This Thesis investigates what this professionalization means in terms of development cooperation competence, and explores the perspective of Finnish expatriates working in developing countries.\n\nThe Thesis reviews literature professions, professionalization in development cooperation, and builds a theoretical framework on competence based on the research on competence in educational sciences.\n\nThe empirical research material includes writings (both in books and online platforms, published by expatriate authors. The qualitative content analysis of the research material is conducted with an analytical framework developed based on the theoretical discussion on competence. As a result, four thematic areas of development cooperation competence are identified: 1) individual capabilities and skills; 2) expatriate worker\u2019 adaptation to work and everyday life in a foreign country; 3) importance of the work community, cooperation skills and social skills in the workplace; and 4) settling into a professional role.\n\nThe findings show how competence in development cooperation is formed in relation to the culture and context, and how the experience of working in a developing country environment is essential to the development of contextual competence in development cooperation. In competence literature, competence is usually seen as being a characteristic of an individual. However, the findings of this Thesis align with the increasing research literature that emphasizes the social, the communal and the interactive nature of professional growth and the formation of expertise. This thesis repeatedly brings up the contextual competence of development cooperation and the social, communal and interactive nature of its formation.

It is particularly important to increase the amount of training of this type and approach at the different levels of education.
