Hocus Pocus, Time to Focus: Innovative Career Development for Staff

Tuesday, October 29 | 1:00-2:00 p.m. ET

Sponsored by 

Data from CUPA-HR's employee retention surveys show that staff are not satisfied with opportunities for advancement or with the amount of support for career development at their institutions. With higher education facing ongoing staff recruitment and retention challenges, University of Tennessee Knoxville HR built an innovative new career development unit (for which they received CUPA-HR's 2024 HR Innovation Award).

In this webinar, you'll:

  • Hear an overview of the program
  • Learn how to "carve out" a brighter future by advocating with senior leadership and managers for the career development of staff
  • Explore how to build an effective program, "witch" may include career coaching, career development sessions, resources and experiential programs
  • Hear how to best measure and report on outcomes to advocate for staff and funding (and maybe stir up a few cauldrons of support too!)
  • Unleash your inner mad scientist by exploring innovative ways to respond to employee needs

You'll also be invited to join our Coaching Collab community to share and learn from career development colleagues at colleges and universities nationwide!
