Career Resources
Free and open to all
Your roadmap into India's policy ecosystem
Everything you need to find your way into policy and social impact, in one place and free: a careers navigator, curated databases, a weekly jobs board, your city chapter, conversations with practitioners, and guides that explain the field.
Policy Career Navigator
A practical map of the field: 100+ careers and 1,500+ structured career pathways across 12 domains, with what each role involves, who hires for it, how to get there, and how much it pays. Built for students and early-career professionals trying to understand where they fit.
Curated, searchable, free
Years of curation by the PPI and STRIDE team, now open as live databases. Each one opens as a Google Sheet you can search, filter and comment on, and each is kept current. Spotted a gap or an error? Leave a comment right on the sheet and we will fix it.
Opening a database for the first time asks for your name and email, once, so we know who these resources are reaching. They stay free, always.
Opportunities, every week
The databases are only part of it. Four more ways the community puts real opportunities in front of you.
A weekly jobs board in your inbox
Every week, The Policy Post shares hundreds of new jobs and internships from across the public policy and social-impact world, curated and sent straight to you.
