Global Reentry: Job Search & Career Services

    Job Search & Career Services

    The Global Reentry Program provides resources and support for Returned Peace Corps Volunteers when it comes to conducting an effective job search — whether that’s laying the foundations for a career, helping change jobs, or staking out a new direction professionally. We offer a series of webinars facilitated by experienced career counselors; podcasts; access to career mentorship programs; and job postings targeting RPCV candidates. A founding partner of the Employers of National Service program, NPCA leverages this new platform to encourage employers to give top consideration to returned Volunteers. We’re fortunate to have on our team Career Services Specialist Jodi Hammer, with years of experience helping RPCVs with career transitions. Check out her “Jobs with Jodi” podcast for starters.
