GPP Podcast: Career Coaching for Budding Advocates, Politicos, Policy Wonks & Social Entrepreneurs
Are you a burgeoning policy wonk, politico, change agent, advocate, or public sector or nonprofit leader? Dreaming of being a diplomat, running for office, or founding a nonprofit? The Washington University in St. Louis Career Center has you covered. Join Amy Heath-Carpentier and Susan Craig, lecturers in international affairs and co-directors of the WashU Career Center's Government and Public Policy Work Group (GPP), to assess, explore, search, and launch a career in the complex and, too often, opaque world of government, policy, nonprofits, and advocacy.

Figuring Out and Charting Your Path in a Career in Government, Policy & Social Impact
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
How do you figure out your path when careers in government, policy and social impact are remote and opaque, sometimes intentionally so? This episode was recorded at a workshop Amy gave in 2021 on how to explore these career paths. While perhaps not as slick as our other podcasts, it's jam-packed with insights and is a great first step for anyone from a first year to an alum. Careers only make sense in retrospect, but take your first step toward a dynamic career by listening to and taking one action step from this episode.
Amy is no longer able to work due to ongoing health issues, so we're keeping this episode unedited as a way to honor her. She is the visionary who continues to inform the Government, Policy & Social Impact Career Community's work! And this workshop really encapsulates some of her best insights.
