Careers and Internships

REECAS students begin the program with a variety of experience and with different plans for afterward.  We encourage students to utilize their two years fully: conducting informational interviews with alumni and staff at regional organizations; interning with businesses or organizations; and preparing themselves for the job interview process.

Ways to Prepare:

The Director of Career Services at the Jackson School, Kelly Voss, has a listserv where internationally-related job and internship announcements as well as general career events are posted.  You can subscribe to jsisjobs@uw.edu. 

Kelly Voss has a wealth of resources and is also available for consultations by appointment in Thomson 124.  View JSIS career resources and scheduling information.
