Faculty and staff can complete electives at any time, regardless of if they have taken Sessions 1-3.
Designed by the Pomerantz Career Center, the Career Connector training series engages faculty and staff in a tailored curriculum designed to provide knowledge about the career development process and the foundations of employability, as well as teaching best practices for having career conversations with students. Participants will learn valuable helping skills, goal setting techniques, ethical practices, and how best to make referrals to the Pomerantz Career Center.
In addition to offering the three foundational courses within Career Connectors, there are also a variety of elective opportunities for continuous professional development and a deeper dive on specific topics. Stay up to date with the latest industry insights, gain new perspectives, and enhance your skills as you navigate the ever-evolving landscape of career development!
In this session participants will learn about:
- The NACE (National Association of College and Employers) Equity and Inclusion Career Readiness Competency.
- How participants can actively assist students in developing and strengthening an essential set of skills and abilities.
- How this competency can be effectively demonstrated and how to focus on practical approaches to integrate equity and inclusion readiness principles into our work with students.
- How, through reflection and collaboration, participants can refine their strategies to better prepare our students to thrive in diverse workplaces and to meaningfully contribute to an inclusive professional landscape.
