We offer customized training and professional development services for career teams, career champion networks, university and academic leaders, and other campus constituents. Our training and design sessions are centered on applying High Impact Career Practices to your specific campus environment, and we partner with you to craft customized learning objectives or change management outcomes.
Offering both in-person sprints as well as more extensive hybrid comprehensive trainings, your campus can host our expert team of facilitators for a robust onsite engagement. Additionally, our experts can design a suite of tailored training sessions on relevant topics that help to solve key problems career staff teams are facing.
Strategic Change Management in Career Services

BENEFITS OF INVESTING IN YOUR TEAM
"The Scaling Career Services training with the Collective helped our team and career partners across the University process and work through the idea (and reality) that career discussions are happening everywhere. The session allowed us to take a deep dive into how we can influence those networks of support and leverage them in a way that helps strengthen our own identity at the same time."
