Career Counseling and Services
Derrick Dortch, a professional career services consultant with many years of experience in counseling individuals planning careers in government and security-cleared professions, provides career counseling and job placement services to all IWP students. Any student may seek such services from him or from IWP professors and senior-level staff. Mr. Dortch's usual office hours at IWP are from 4-7 pm on Wednesdays and Thursdays.
The Institute is committed to assisting its students in their search for employment in the foreign affairs and national security fields. Because of the personal experience of our faculty, guest lecturers, and even students in the foreign affairs, intelligence, and national security communities, the Institute has an extensive network of professional contacts. Students are encouraged to take advantage of the opportunities this offers in their job searches. Job announcements are regularly posted by e-mail, on the IWP website, and outside the Office of Student Affairs. Current students and alumni may contact Derrick via email (dtd@diversagroup.com) or by calling the Institute (202-462-2101).
