Mercy University New York

The Session

What does a career in global intelligence actually look like? Forget the Hollywood tropes—Mike LaCorte brings the reality of International Investigations to Mercy University. This session is designed for students looking to take their skills in research, law, or tech and apply them to a fast-paced, global arena where no two days are the same.

What Mike will Explore

• What is an International Investigator? From tracking scams to protecting global brands, learn what Investigators actually do on the ground in London, New York, and Dubai.
• The Global Toolkit: Why a mix of digital forensics, local "boots on the ground," and cultural intelligence is the modern investigator's superpower.
• How to Break In: Real-talk on the career path. Mike discusses the degrees, certifications, and "soft skills" that top firms actually look for in new graduates.
• Realistic Expectations: The excitement of travel and solving complex cases balanced with the reality of long hours, data privacy laws, and the patience required for the "deep dive."
