Career Development

Our Career Development team works with students to ensure they have the experience and network needed for an impactful career in public service. We provide support for admitted students, current students, and alumni one year after graduation.

The University of Washington’s Career & Internship Center supports undergraduate and graduate students with job postings, events, one-on-one career coaching through scheduled appointments, and other resources.

The Evans School offers events and resources specific to our field, including career fairs, panels, and foundations workshops. Our Career Development team is dedicated to maintaining and growing a strong network of employers. As the career interests of students evolve each year, we target organizations and policy areas of interest to incoming Evans School students, creating new partnerships and opportunities for engagement and employment.

Handshake

Students and alumni have access to the Evans School’s Handshake account, a hub for full-time, part-time, contract, and internship positions.

Experiential learning opportunities, including internships and volunteer opportunities, encourage students to put theory into practice by applying their classwork in the real world. Undergraduate students can complete policy-related internships for course credit.

The Evans School is trusted and deeply embedded throughout the public, private, and nonprofit organizations across the Pacific Northwest and beyond.
