Career Services Trends
I attended a Professional Development Institute on Career Services Trends presented by Dr. Farouk Dey sponsored by the Oregon Career Development Association (OCDA). Dr. Dey is a progressive leader in Career Counseling, and Stanford University brought him in to re-create how career services are provided at their university. I had several take aways that I would like to implement, beginning with creating curriculum on Designing Your Life where students would learn about themselves and what interests, passions and aptitudes they may turn into a career. I also want to bring his ideas of creating communities; utilizing peer mentors; and using technology to reach more students in a more effective manner.
