Careers in International Organisations and NGOs

Meet an Alum sessions are informal opportunities to build your industry knowledge and make connections with General Course alumni. 

In this session, you'll have the chance to meet alumni who work in International Organisations and NGOs. You can ask the alumni about their day-to-day job, how they got into their role, and for any other career-related advice or tips they’ve picked up from their career journey so far. 

 This event will be particularly useful if you are:

• thinking about the realities of a career in this area or a related sector
• curious about the sort of work and responsibilities jobs in this area can entail
• interested in finding out how utilising the experience of studying at LSE can be used to get ahead in this area
• keen to build your connections
