Building and Sustaining Career Services Momentum Amidst Competing Campus Priorities and Challenges

In today's complex higher education landscape, career services leaders face the daunting task of balancing multiple priorities and keeping staff morale high while many on campus are pursuing different priorities. This intensive aims to empower career leaders with the knowledge and tools to effectively build and sustain momentum in their career services initiatives despite the myriad challenges they may encounter across campus. 

Through interactive discussions, case studies, and best practice sharing, participants will explore strategies for aligning career services with overarching institutional goals, engaging stakeholders, leveraging leadership strategies, and overcoming common obstacles. By the end of the workshop, participants will be equipped with actionable insights to enhance the impact and visibility of career services within their institutions, ultimately fostering the success and employability of their students.
