Aspiring Public Service Professional

The new public sector is about linkages between governments, nonprofits, NGOs, universities and the private sector. All have a role to play in responding to today’s pressing issues. Professionals now move among the sectors in their careers, shifting jobs when opportunities present themselves. Such flexibility often results in greater leverage within organizations to make a personal difference. Moving among the sectors also requires mastering the quite varied human resources environments within them. As rapidly as possible, it is important to learn the processes organizations in each sector use to hire and promote their employees.
