Josef Korbel School's Office of Career and Professional Development 

Fostering talent for a globalizing world

As a graduate student at the Josef Korbel School of International Studies, you are engaging in an education that will have lifelong impact and benefit. Our graduates are making a difference across the globe, in areas such as commerce, education, government, diplomacy, law, conflict resolution, military affairs, economic development, global health and humanitarian relief.  

Our alumni are leaders in their respective fields, spanning a variety of sectors in organizations as diverse as American Red Cross, U.S. Department of State, International Rescue Committee, USAID, Office of Naval Intelligence, United Nations, Catholic Relief Services and the Export-Import Bank, among others.

Their success in finding meaningful careers in today's global economy is largely due to the experience and tools they developed at the Josef Korbel School to market their skills, education, talent and past experiences. The majority of our graduates have completed at least one internship in their field of study, preparing them for work in the private, public, multilateral and nonprofit/NGO sectors.

At the Josef Korbel School, you have access to a career office exclusively devoted to serving Josef Korbel School graduate students and alumni. We also work with employers to develop opportunities and connect them to potential employees (you).

We seek to enhance your career success by providing:

  • Professional development through career coaching and targeted skills development training.
  • Career education through courses, workshops and events.
  • Connections between students, alumni and employers through targeted and proactive marketing and relationship management.

Your education is one of the most important investments you'll ever make. The Office of Career and Professional Development deploys a depth of experience and knowledge to help you develop the career tools you need to succeed.

Quick links to career and professional development information

If I look back on my time at the Josef Korbel School, the greatest strength I got from my education was the ability to question, think critically and then be able to present that information in a concise and relevant manner. This is a credit to the professors at the school, who challenged me consistently throughout my time there.
