Opportunities are not limited to government and government-related industries, such as think tanks, NGOs, and advocacy organizations, but also include tech, law, journalism, management consulting, professional services, research, political risk and analysis, and finance.
Universities that are currently advertising ICAN to their students and alumni include:
IR/PolySci Jobs and Careers across Industries
Courses and Training
This course meets online for an hour and a half, one evening per week, for four weeks. In the meetings, we dive deep into relevant jobs and professional trajectories in the following sectors and industries: government, think tanks, NGOs and advocacy, tech, law, journalism, management consulting, professional services, research, political risk and analysis, and finance.
We examine leading companies in each industry and identify jobs that specifically seek applicants with backgrounds or experience in International Relations/Political Science. We review the transferable skills required for these roles and opportunities to develop additional skills and certifications. Then, we track professional progression from the internship/entry-level, to junior, mid-level, and senior roles. That way, you’ll be able to plan potential career trajectories. More information and registration can be found here.
