This Community Orientation event presented important information on careers in the public sector both at the state as well as federal level, from successful immigrants who have achieved professionally in their pursuit of the American Dream.

A special function in that community orientation event was the official award of the prestigious Presidential Community Service Award to Mr. Karidesan Nadar for completing over 1,500 hours of community service at the ISC for the past many years.

The public service profession is often misunderstood as a career path. While most people know a job in a public sector is about making a difference, whether at the local, country or international level, few have a full understanding of what kinds of jobs are available. While public service isn’t just about volunteer work or advocating for a charitable cause, it isn’t all about government work either. The goal of this guide is to explain what a career in public service is about, demonstrate how to get a career serving a higher cause and dispel any myths and misunderstandings about public service.
