What is Public Service?

Public service careers are jobs in government agencies, nonprofit organizations, educational institutions and the military. In a public service career, you can do good AND do well.

Quick Links

The Public Service Career Hub helps students figure out and find opportunities–internships, jobs, and careers–in public service. You came to City College ready to find jobs and build careers where you can make a difference for yourself, your family, and your City. You also bring a wealth of knowledge about your communities and have a passion for making a difference on the issues and causes that need your leadership.

Career Resources

Did you know? Most entry-level jobs require one-two years of experience to apply. Employers count internships and campus activities toward professional involvement.
