In your campus role, do students ask you career-related questions? Would strengthening your knowledge around career exploration and job search strategies help you perform your role better? Are you interested in enhancing your career development knowledge and skills in order to assist students or staff in developing, pursuing and achieving career goals?
If you answered yes to these questions, please consider enrolling in the NCDA Facilitating Career Development Course. Open to faculty and staff, this 10-month training provides you with relevant skills and knowledge to assist students in planning careers and meaningful work.
