Introduction to Jobs in Policy

Curious about careers in public policy but don’t know where to begin? Let’s talk.

I’m Nadine, a policy researcher with experience navigating the intersection of research, and real-world policymaking. In our 1:1 session, I’ll walk you through:

• What “working in policy” actually means
• Different entry points — government, think tanks, NGOs, multilaterals, and startups
• Key skills and qualifications needed (with or without a master’s)
• How to find roles, fellowships, and internships
• How to position your CV and interests, especially if you're coming from a non-policy background

Whether you’re a student, a career switcher, or just curious about how ideas become action — I’ll help you understand the landscape and find your footing.

Bring your questions, and let’s demystify the world of policy together.
