Friday, MAy 4, 2018: A new lens on career development: charting a path for progress in the face of uncertainty                               

Location: Stearns Center, Room G12

Time: 9:00am - 1:00pm                       

What do careers look like in 2018? Our new view of careers is fashioned by a radical set of environmental changes that include changes in:

• Relationships with employers
  
• The nature of work
  
• The priorities and motivations of workers; and
  
• The process of gaining employment
  

In the face of all these changes, it is no surprise that a great majority of clients face an uncertain path forward regardless of their age or circumstances.  

This interactive session will:

• Explore a new model for career development in the face of these changing realities
  
• Review frameworks for understanding careers and choice in 2018 and be introduced to a process for moving careers forward in light of uncertainty. 
  
• Introduce a series of interactive tools that are 'must haves' in supporting clients in this uncertain time
  
• Leverage the research and work of Harvard MBA and social entrepreneur Linda Rossetti
  

Attend this seminar and walk away with a mix of practical, real world exercises that are necessary to anchor clients on what matters to them in a changing world.
