Bob Brzencheck, Assistant Professor for the Criminal Studies Program |
The event will be held Monday November 24, 2014 from 6:00 – 7:00PM in Room 42.
Students of Legal Studies, including those pursuing a degree
in Criminal
Justice, Legal
Studies in Business, and Paralegal Studies
will benefit most from attending. Though front-line agents tend to be the most
visible, it’s important to keep in mind that in every branch of criminal
justice system there are different subsets and different jobs within those
subsets.
During the presentation you’ll learn about some of these positions
and how every employee has an important role and mission within the agency. From
clerks, to lawyers, to counter-terrorism, there are a number of different
players that work in the agency to help and support each other and help sustain
the mission of the FBI.
To get the most out of the event there are a few things you
can do to prepare. A good start would be to visit the FBI’s website and check out different departments and
missions of the FBI and how they work together to sustain and implement the
role and efforts of the FBI. Another
resource to check out is USAJOBS - The
Federal Government's Official Jobs Site. Here you can learn about the various
federal criminal justice opportunities and check out positions that are
available. Included in these positions are
co-ops and internships that will help you get boots on ground experience to compliment
your Legal Studies education. Lastly there’s the Office
of Personnel Management, the clearinghouse for hiring federal employees. This will help you to get a sense of what the
federal government looks for in employees, the hiring process, and
opportunities for career development.
These Legal Studies events bring in real-world practitioners
from a variety of careers. They are designed to help educate and prepare the 21st
century legal and criminal justice professional. The events serve as another component
within your toolbox to help you further advance toward your end goal of
achieving a position in criminal justice. We can’t wait to see you there!
