The CSD Networking

As you know, each of the Counselors in the CSD have an area of buisness development which takes them across the country, meeting employers and forming partnerships for future career prospects for Florida Coastal students and alumni. This week, two of the CSD Counselors are participating in a Conference targeted towards meeting with recruiters from the federal government. We look forward to sharing our impressions and developing stronger relationships between federal government recruiters and Florida Coastal students and alumni.

Have a great 3 day weekend and we will see you next week!

What Is Government & Public Interest Work?

In 2008, approximately 33% of Florida Coastal's graduating class entered into a government or public interest position. The broad categories of public interest and government encompass a large spectrum of positions on the local, city, state, and national arenas. Positions can range from work in a public defender's office, the ACLU, or Earthjustice to opportunities at the U.S. Attorney's Office, the National Women's Law Center, or the World Organization for Human Rights. The career possibilities within the government or public interest entity are endless and should be considered by anyone looking for meaningful work and the opportunity to make a difference.
