Career Guru: NYU Wagner School's David Schachter

In the latest Careers podcast we interview David Schachter,
Assistant Dean for Career Services and Experiential Learning at The
Wagner Graduate School of Public Service at NYU. David manages
Wagner’s career-related support of students and alumni. Originally
trained as an actor, David has had more than fifteen years of
non-profit staff and volunteer management experience. He has
offered training, consulting, and facilitation nationally in the
areas of leadership, staff development, supervision, team building,
training of the trainer, and career planning.

    In addition, he developed programs and training
components that appear in several chapters of The Idealist Guide to
Nonprofit Careers. David received the 2006 NACE/Chevron Outstanding
Achievement Award for Innovative Programs in Career Services for
his partnership with Action Without Borders/Idealist.org on the
creation of the Institute on Public Service Careers, a series of
two-day professional development trainings designed to educate
college career services professionals and year-of-service program
staff from across the country on how to increase the visibility and
accessibility of public service careers to their students,
volunteers, and alumni. David received his Master’s Degree in
Public Administration from NYU Wagner and a Bachelor of Fine Arts
from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts.

    Idealist.org's Amy Potthast talks with David
about the job search process; the diverse, ill-defined paths to
public service careers; the NYU Fellowship for Emerging Leaders in
Public Service at Wagner; David’s own path, and much, much
more.
