Government at Work
Do you think you need a political science degree to work for the federal government? Think again! The federal government's broad mission means there are jobs in every field. From architects to zoologists, the federal government is looking for a wide variety of talented and dedicated employees.
Uncle Sam needs you, according to a new report—Where the Jobs Are: Mission Critical Opportunities for America, released in July by the Partnership for Public Service. The report outlines government—wide projected hiring needs through 2009 and is based on a survey of 34 federal agencies representing nearly 99 percent of the federal workforce. The survey finds nearly 193,000 mission critical jobs need to be filled in the next two years!
What that means for you is that there are opportunities (full time jobs and internships) in the federal government that you might want to consider. The Career Development Center and The Taubman Center for Public Policy and American Institutions are working together to promote these opportunities and to guide students through the application process.
For more information about how to find and apply for these opportunities, visit the Career Development Center or email Ron Foreman.
