Career Panels and Workshops
Throughout the academic year, OCS sponsors a number of career panels in which alumni and other professionals speak about selected fields. OCS also conducts numerous career-related workshops. Topics include Resume Writing, Developing Sound Interviewing Skills and Domestic and International Job Search Strategies. By participating in these programs, you greatly contribute to keeping SIPA students aware of the nature of the current job market, the various options available to students, and what they can expect after graduation. This helps students approach the job search from an informed, knowledgeable position. If you are interested in being involved in career panels and workshops, please contact Bobbie Cappiello, Assistant Director of Career Events and Alumni Relations, at 212-854-4613 or bbg2105@columbia.edu.
Annual Career Events: Washington, D.C. Conference and NYC Career Series
In addition to the panels and workshops, OCS sponsors the Washington, D.C. Conference and the New York City (NYC) Career Series. These events consist of field-specific career presentations, an alumni reception and informational interviews with professionals in Washington, D.C. and New York City. These events provide opportunities for alumni to meet current SIPA students and to share information on their career field and experiences with students. Your willingness to give career advice to current students is greatly appreciated. As part of the conference, you may serve on a career panel, attend a student/alumni reception and/or conduct informational interviews. This is an excellent way for students to network with alumni and employers in the D.C. and New York City areas.
