Internship & Permanent Job Announcements - Please think of us for your organization's Internship & Permanent Hiring needs. Promote Rockefeller College students to your organization and ask them to list internship and job announcements with the Career Office. Please send announcements to rockefeller.careers@albany.edu.

Job Shadowing & Informational Interviewing - Volunteers are needed to host graduate students for job shadowing experiences. Students will be matched with alumni in specific career areas to enable the student to "shadow" the alum for a half day to a full day so that students can get a flavor for specific types of positions in the fields of public policy, public administration, non-profit management or private consulting firms. Students are also encouraged to seek out professionals in the field and conduct 45 minute informational interviews. The purpose of the Informational Interviews is to gain a greater understanding of different positions within Public Affairs & Administration.
 
Career Panels - Career Panels last for one hour and are scheduled several times throughout the academic year. Panels are offered by concentration areas (non-profit management, lobbying, or working in congress). Approximately 4-5 panelists are selected for each section and asked to give 5-8 minute individual presentations about their career. The remaining time is allotted for student questions and interaction.

Mentoring Program - If you are able to provide additional one-on-one time with students, you can be an Alumni Mentor. Mentors are always in demand. Students enjoy learning about topics such as how to survive in different office/organizational cultures, networking basics, and other professional development advice. Call the Career Center for more information about these programs at 518-442-5253.
