Continue reading »]]> Position: Product Operations Fellow at PharmaSecure

Location: New Delhi, India

Short description of what you do: As PharmaSecure is still a young company, I’ve been helping out with a variety of things. My main responsibilities are supporting the product development team by defining requirements for new products and overseeing their development, data analysis, and monitoring of current products.

Degree at Dartmouth: Bachelor’s of Engineering focusing in Mechanical Engineering

1. What is most satisfying about your current work?

The general work environment and the people I work with — the organization is very flat, and I’ve gained some great friends and mentors during my time here.

2. What’s the best way to enter your field? Any essential elements of preparation? 

Networking — I audited a Tuck class my senior year, Intro to Entrepreneurship, and met the CEO (Nathan Sigworth ’07) after a class in which he gave a guest lecture. Ten months later I Facebook messaged him out of the blue during a week of intense job searching, asking him if there were any internships or fellowships available and luckily there were!

3. What advice would you give to others seeking opportunities in this field?

Reach out to and network with alumni. There are so many amazing people, and they will want to help you.  There are some useful job sites/lists that are more geared toward social enterprise as well, like social-enterprise-jobs@googlegroups.com.

5. How has Dartmouth supported you in your career development?

Dartmouth’s Network is truly amazing.  I’ve only just started out on my career more or less, with just a handful of internships under my belt, but all of my gainful employment post-graduation has been the direct result of networking with Dartmouth alumni.  As I’m starting to look for my next step, classmates a few years older than me have given great advice on how to frame my job search in a way that will help me clarify my career goals.

LANGUAGE INSTRUCTION AS SOCIAL SERVICE FELLOWSHIP  in VALLE DE BRAVO ESTADO DE MEXICO, MEXICO

IAPE aims to transform English language instruction in Mexico’s most underserved public schools by training, empowering, and supporting a dedicated network of innovative and dynamic English language educators.

Background: The Inter-American Partnership for Education (IAPE) is a joint effort of Worldfund and Dartmouth College’s Rassias Center for World Languages and Cultures.

Worldfund is a non-profit organization that works to reduce poverty in Latin American by supporting high-quality and results-driven education. The Rassias Center promotes cross-cultural understanding and strengthens communication among people around the world by training teachers in aspects of the Rassias Method® and offering World Language Instruction for students of all ages. The two organizations joined forces when in 2006, Worldfund’s Founder and President Luanne Zurlo spoke to Professor Rassias about creating a program for a group of English as a Second Language Teachers.  Following two pilot sessions in 2007, the project secured funding from Nextel de Mexico and Becalos, and gained recognition as a Clinton Global Initiative Commitment. Today IAPE enrolls approximately 400 teachers per year and receives support from multiple foundations, corporations, and individual supporters in the U.S. and Mexico, and from the Mexican state governments in which the participating teachers work. Summer programs currently take place at Dartmouth College in Hanover, NH USA.  Programs during the academic year take place in Santa Fe Tlaxcala, in the State of Tlaxcala, Mexico.

• Fellowship Title: English Language Fellow  (Assistant Teacher)
• Dates: Fall or Winter Quarters, 2012 and 2013
• Location: Tlaxcala is approximately two hours east of Mexico City by car, in the State of Tlaxcala.   The program is housed at a family style resort near a small town.
• http://travel.nytimes.com/2011/02/20/travel/20overnighter-valle-de-bravo.html?pagewanted=all
• The position: The IAPE Intensive English (IE) team will consist of a Coordinator, 2 Master Teachers from the US and 6 Assistant Teachers, 3 from the US and 3 from Mexico.  In addition to making a difference in the lives of others and honing one’s teaching skills, a successful IAPE Fellowship can provide the following transferable skills: team work and team building; mentoring (in this case, older students); familiarity with Mexico’s education system; familiarity with the internal workings of a US NGO; event execution; and cross-cultural and linguistic competencies.
• Compensation: Round-trip transportation (one round-trip plane ticket between Mexico City and home city in U.S., plus ground transportation between Mexico City and Valle de Bravo); housing (at the Center), meals with participants when programs are in session stipend for meals when programs are not in session. Fellows are required to provide proof of medical insurance.

Fellowship Duties and Expectations in Mexico:

Security of participants and staff is of paramount concern to both Dartmouth and Worldfund.  Compared to much of the country, Valle de Bravo, a popular retreat for Mexico’s upper class, is considered peaceful and was first recommended to Dartmouth and Worldfund as a potential program location in 2009, by the security consultants at International SOS with whom both organizations work to provide security services to students and employees. Valle de Bravo continues to be considered a stable location, where violent crime is much less of a concern than in many other areas of the country, including states that border the United States.  Nonetheless, staff members are reminded that IAPE cannot guarantee their safety at home or abroad and that much of their safety and security depends ultimately on their own behavior and personal choices.  It is incumbent on all staff to be part of the safety process, to keep themselves informed about local conditions, and to act responsibly. Prior to departure, U.S.-based staff will be briefed about safety precautions, including current travel precautions, by program personnel and by International SOS security specialists. Upon arrival in Mexico City, U.S.-based staff will be transported to Valle de Bravo by reputable private transportation as recommended by International SOS.  The program is managed in conjunction with an extensive network of local contacts and the program team remains in close communication with the U.S. State Department and International SOS and regularly monitors local events.  The IAPE On-Site Coordinator, an employee of Dartmouth College, resides in Valle de Bravo and is available in the event of a security or medical concern.  International SOS is also available 24 hours a day for telephone consultation and assistance.

Travel Waivers for Dartmouth Students from the Provost’s Office will be applied for after acceptance.

If you are looking for the opportunity, training and experience to make a powerful and long-lasting impact on the policies that will shape New Mexico’s environment, apply to be the Clean Energy Associate with Environment New Hampshire.  To apply, send a resume and cover letter to: jobs@environmentamerica.org.  

You’ll work to end New Hampshire’s fossil fuel dependence.

As powerful utilities consider building a massive pipeline, called the Keystone XL across the drinking supply for thousands of Americans, and as our lawmakers remove bans on more offshore drilling, putting our coasts at risk, New Hampshire’s oil use continues to rise.

New Hampshire is one of the most oil dependent states in the country. We heat our old, leaky buildings with heating oil, and use very little public transportation. We could be heating our homes with cleaner fuels and investing in energy efficiency to cut the energy we use all together.

Luckily, Environment New Hampshire helped convince the Obama Administration to announce the strongest clean cars standards in the last 40 years. These standards will save XX gallons of oil over the next Y years. To build on that progress we are working to convince our lawmakers in Concord to pass a comprehensive plan to move New Hampshire beyond oil.

Learn more about our work to get off oil at http://www.environmentnewhampshire.org/programs/nhe/get-oil

Environment New Hampshire’s Clean Energy Associate will lead our efforts to demonstrate widespread support for shifting from dirty sources of energy to clean ones, including working with clean energy professionals, public health groups, and small business owners, generating media attention, educating and mobilizing average Granite Staters through face-to-face conversations, and weighing in with the our state legislators.  Environment New Hampshire’s Clean Energy Associate will also develop and run campaigns to protect New Hampshire’s air and shift to clean energy.

You’ll work with one of the leading environmental groups in New Hampshire

Environment New Hampshire is a statewide, citizen-based environmental advocacy group.  Our professional staff combines independent research, practical ideas and tough-minded advocacy to overcome the opposition of powerful special interests and win real results for New Hampshire’s environment. Environment New Hampshire draws on 30 years of success in tackling top environmental problems.  We have led efforts to cut New Hampshire’s global warming pollution, minimize polluted runoff from developers, improve the mileage of new cars and trucks, and much more.  Learn more about the changes we’ve made at www.environmentnewhampshire.org/results.

You’ll learn how to run winning campaigns for the environment

Environment New Hampshire is a part of the Environment America federation, a federation of 29 state-based environmental advocacy groups.  Each year, Environment America hires passionate, talented and committed recent college graduates to join a two-year Fellowship Program, a program designed to give recent college graduates like you the training you need, and put you in the right place at the right time, so you can roll up your  sleeves and make a difference right away.

You’ll work with experienced advocates and organizers to make an immediate impact

If you’re hired to be the Environment New Hampshire Clean Energy Associate, you will be a member of the 2012-2014 Fellowship Program.  As a Fellow, you’ll learn how to help plan, run and win campaigns.  You’ll learn how to research and identify effective solutions to critical problems – those facing New Hampshire’s landscape, and others – and how to build and mobilize powerful constituencies to get behind your campaign.  You’ll lobby lawmakers, publish opinion pieces in major newspapers and on key websites, set up and speak at news conferences, organize town hall meetings and rallies, and run citizen outreach campaigns to educate the public, build membership and raise money for our work.  You’ll even learn how to recruit interns, activists, and future fellows to join Environment America.

In your second year, you’ll polish your skills and take on even more responsibility.  Learn more about the Fellowship Program at www.environmentamerica.org/jobs/available-positions/fellowship-program.

In addition to getting guidance and feedback from your staff director in New Hampshire, you’ll participate in classroom-style trainings throughout the year with other Environment America staff—including some of the nation’s top environmental advocates and organizers—in addition to getting guidance and feedback from your staff director.

The Fellowship is only the beginning

You will develop relationships with lawmakers and community leaders throughout New Hampshire, earn media coverage for important issues, raise funds, build membership, recruit and manage staff and volunteers, and run grassroots campaigns to promote protect New Hampshire’s landscape.  Bottom line: you’ll make a real difference.

After just two years of hard work, you’ll have the skills and experience that will set you apart from most recent college graduates and you’ll be prepared to take on even more leadership at Environment New Hampshire, elsewhere in the Environment America federation, or in the larger environmental community.
