Event Details:

 

Peace Corps prepares you for many potential roles, from careers in public service, health, and education to graduate school, or private-sector work. RPCVs are in high demand by employers because of the technical training and collaborative experiences you've gained. Peace Corps service reinforces and enhances your existing skills while teaching you valuable new ones, like leadership, communication, and resiliency, that will be key in your career search.

In this session, you'll hear from several Returned Peace Corps Volunteers (RPCVs) who served in varied sectors and countries and learn how their service impacted their career paths. There will be plenty of time for questions!
