In addition to personal consultations, the MU Career Center provides all students access to Mizzou Career Tools, a searchable resource database that features career guides, videos, infographics, and more.
Job Search Resources
HireMizzouTigers powered by Handshake is the University-wide career management system that allows students and alumni to:

The Public Policy Handbook provides graduate and undergraduate students with an interest in public policy administration and analysis with resources for internships and after-graduation positions with think tanks, advocacy organizations, federal agencies and other institutions engaged in policy analysis and implementation. (Contact the career services office for the password).
In addition to the Public Policy Handbook for internships and the general job posting boards (Monster, Indeed, etc.) there are several good resources for exploring internship and job opportunities more focused on the public service arena. Though by no means an exhaustive list of resources, here are a few ideas to get you started on your internship/job search.
For Employers
Our students seek opportunities and secure positions with a wide range of employers across the public, nonprofit, and private sectors. If you think a Truman School student might be a good fit for your organization, there are several ways to connect with them. Feel free to contact the career services office if you have any questions.
