Do you wonder what jobs and careers there are in international affairs? There’s more than you think. Every Fall and Spring the World Affairs Council assembles diplomats, business people, NGO officials, returned Peace Corps volunteers and more to talk about their experiences and insights and to answer your questions at this very popular panel. We routinely add a second panel each season to do a deep dive into a specific occupational field.
TNWAC’s career panel on the theme “Women in International Business” is set for October 27, 2021 at 5:30pm-7:00pm CT.
