What does a career in international affairs really look like? On February 24th, the WFPG will host our second virtual international affairs forum.
Breakout Sessions: Virtual Mentoring Roundtables
This interactive program will include brief opening remarks followed by two breakout sessions with international affairs professionals. During these virtual mentoring roundtables, participants will have the chance to connect with mid- and senior-level experts to gain practical career advice and to ask their own questions about our mentors' career paths and today's global job market. Attendees will get the chance to join two different small virtual roundtable conversations over the course of the event. Read about last year's virtual Career Forum here.
WFPG mentors represent a broad cross-section of the international affairs discipline and will share their experiences working in fields such as Human Rights; Global Security, Defense, and Intelligence; International Development; State Department and Diplomacy; United Nations; Communications and Advocacy; and Peacebuilding and Democracy.
