The Alumni Resource Center (ARC) is an online career development hub for U.S. citizen ExchangeAlumni. ARC provides ExchangeAlumni with courses, trainings, and other resources to develop professional skills and abilities, market themselves, and explore careers in and outside of public service.
WHAT YOU WILL FIND
Currently, ARC hosts two courses: 1.) How to leverage transferable skills as an ExchangeAlumni and 2.) An extensive overview of the Citizen Diplomacy Action Fund (CDAF) application. ARC will also include PDF resources such as a booklet for your networking needs. As the Center continues to expand, alumni will have access to asynchronous materials to further their career advancement.
