The Career Development initiatives of the GPIA are intended to provide to you as many resources as possible during your time in the program. We offer workshops on such critical aspects of finding employment as writing your resume (or re-writing it if you're a career changer), preparing a provoking cover letter, and real-time interview skills. The program brings to you career panel discussions with professionals who are currently working in the field in many of the areas that you likely are interested in. In the past we've had representatives from organizations including:
- Doctors without Borders
- International Rescue Committee
- United Nations Fund for Population Activities
- Center for Transnational Justice
- International Crisis Group
- Independent Diplomat
- Realizing Rights: The Ethical Globalization Initiative
- United Nations Development Program
Career Counseling Services
- Our department works closely with the University wide Office of Career Development. The Office of Career Development is available to all of you, on a one-on-one basis, to help you with your specific questions and needs about furthering your career once you've completed your coursework in the GPIA. Jennifer Rupert, who is the Assistant Director of the Office of Career Development, is our programs dedicated counselor. If you would like to make an appointment directly with Jennifer Rupert you should call (212) 229-1324.
- In addition to the workshops and panels offered through the GPIA, our students are also afforded multiple opportunities to take part in similar panels and workshops offered through the New School for Social Research (NSSR) and Milano the New School for Management and Urban Policy.
