Are you currently a student in one of our Sociology or Anthropology graduate or undergraduate programs and are interested in learning potential pathways for a job with the federal government?
The Department of Sociology and Anthropology is pleased to invite you to a discussion with three alumni from our graduate programs to share their experience and knowledge about transitioning from a degree in Sociology or Anthropology to a government job.

Andrew MacKenzie completed his BA (1999) and MA (2001) in Sociology at Carleton and started at Statistics Canada the day after defending his thesis. After a few years he decided to do a PhD in Sociology part-time from 2005-2013 while also working full-time at Statistics Canada because it opened doors to where he wanted to take his career. Andrew is now a Director at the Public Health Agency of Canada.
