Career and Workforce Development (Graduate Certificate)
In the past fifty years, the demands on our workforce, educational systems, and employers have changed dramatically. The recent economic crisis highlights the interconnectedness of our global economy and challenges us to provide workers with access to high-level career development resources, mental health counseling, and dedicated career counseling.
Now, more than ever, individuals, organizations, businesses, government agencies and educational institutions need well-trained career practitioners to assist with life and career transitions, planning for life-long learning, skill acquisition and career management.
Building on the expert leadership of our nationally recognized faculty, we offer a practical certificate program in Career and Workforce Development that prepares career practitioners to assist students, workers, employers and retirees navigate the challenges that are inherent in a global workplace.
