Representatives from a variety of government agencies will be on campus Tuesday, Nov. 10, for “A Fresh Look at Government Jobs: Civil Service in the 21st Century.” This program features a series of events for undergraduate and graduate students.
“In the next several years, the federal government will need to hire more than 270,000 workers, largely due to the impending retirement of baby boomers,” said Robin Hattori, program director at the Gephardt Institute for Public Service.
A wide range of public sector agencies are confirmed to attend, including the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), the Department of Homeland Security, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Foreign Service, the Office of Sen. Kit Bond and the U.S. Department of Commerce.
The day will begin with lunch at 11:30 a.m. in the Danforth University Center, Room 234, with a program featuring George Selim, policy adviser from the Office for Civil Rights & Civil Liberties in the Department of Homeland Security.
Students also may sign up for individual resume reviews with employers at the Career Center from 1-3:30 pm. Graduate students are invited to an employer panel discussion and networking session at 4 p.m. in the Danforth University Center, Room 276. The CIA will hold an information session for its recruitment efforts at 7 p.m. in the Danforth University Center, Room 234.
This event is part of the “Making the Difference” campaign to promote careers in government sponsored by the Gephardt Institute and the Career Center.
