Careers in the US and Canada

Careers in the US and Canada is our careers programme for current students and recent graduates planning to return to the US or Canada and looking for employment. 

In addition to showcasing advice and useful resources throughout the year, the programme features our Careers in the US and Canada events series. These events host LSE alumni and employer representatives from a range of sectors, giving you the opportunity to network with employers, develop your skills, and discover where your career in the US or Canada could take you. We also run a session about applying for the Presidential Management Fellows (PMF) program (suitable for US students only).
