Senior Director of Learning, Development, and Training
College Advising Corps
As we seek to see the leadership landscape across our country reflect the communities we serve, we know that our advisers and alumni are part of that future and that change. So how does the College Advising Corps (CAC) ensure that our near-peer advisers and alumni, many of whom were once advised by CAC advisers themselves, reap the benefits of higher education and experience their own career success? College Advising Corps has made a commitment to helping launch the careers of advisers and alumni through strategic professional development, coaching, and support. Join CAC as the presenters share the organization’s approach to building professional development pathways. This session will also highlight the challenges encountered, explore lessons learned, and start the process of creating a competency model that allows the audience to contextualize what is possible in their own backyards.
Guiding Questions:
1) How can organizations and institutions collaborate to provide thoughtful training for career development?
2) What competency development is needed to prepare young professionals for career success?
3) What is your organization doing to develop young professionals, particularly those who may be from the communities we serve? Do they have pathways for professional growth and leadership?
