Justice Connection is launching a significant expansion of its Employment Support Network to better help current and recent DOJ employees navigate transitions out of the department.
“We work every day to support the countless DOJ employees who are fighting to stay in their jobs. But many have been ousted, and others are resigning in response to this administration’s senseless actions; Minnesota was just the latest example,” said Stacey Young, executive director and founder of Justice Connection. “These employees often need help with their job searches, and this new initiative creates a way for DOJ alumni to provide it.”
The network will connect current and recent employees with over a hundred (and growing) alumni who will give informational interviews – an opportunity for employees to seek advice and insight related to a specific career path or field. Justice Connection will share non-public lists of alumni volunteers directly with employees.
Informational interviews will be available to various types of DOJ professionals, including::
-
Attorneys
-
Legal support staff
-
Law enforcement officials, investigators, and intelligence professionals
-
Communications staff
-
Grantmaking staff
-
Administrative staff
Alumni volunteers have experience with many kinds of employers, such as law firms, academic institutions, non-profit organizations, policy and research firms, communications organizations, security companies, and state and local governments.
Any Justice Department alumni who are interested in joining this network and helping Justice Department employees find new jobs can email alumni@thejusticeconnection.
During its first year, Justice Connection provided a wealth of employment-related information to current and recent staff. We also held virtual employment events for employees across the department. This new program will provide even greater support to the public servants who need and deserve it.
