Professional development during your education has so much value. It might seem low priority compared to your courses and assignments. It shouldn't - it will actually enhance your studies! Participating in professional development in early career creates an essential connection to industry. And professional development that is FREE is a huge opportunity. As someone who has paid for a lot of my continuing education, I jump at opportunities that are no cost. Conferences, workshops, training, and networking events provide exposure to the latest industry trends. It also allows you to start to develop your professional network. And connect with leaders who can inspire your path. Prioritizing professional development today - it sets you up for success tomorrow. #EarlyCareer #ProfessionalDevelopment #Networking #CareerGrowth #IndustryConnections

"Finished the Career Launchpad course by GrammenPhone! Excited to embark on my professional adventure!"

These programs typically offer a range of resources such as skills development workshops, career counselling, networking opportunities, and sometimes job placement assistance. The goal is to provide participants with the tools and support they need to excel in their chosen field or transition into new career path.

My resolution for 2025 is to invest in my professional growth and continue honing my skills to better serve others.

What is Green Career Week? Seed Your Future created Green Career Week to help you reach the next generation of professionals.

The decision of what you want to do for the rest of your life is difficult at any age, especially in high school. You really have no idea what is all out there to explore, no one does. We can’t expect the schools to know every possible career for our children. That is why this partnership between the schools, businesses, and government is so important. Businesses need people. We need to be there to inform our future generations what all is out there. To be there to support the schools by giving the students information to make a more educated decision on their future. So many people go off to college not knowing what they want to do or finish college, not using the degree they went for. This program can help with that. It helps give the students more information about the careers they are interested in and ones that may not have known were an option. It provides them the ability to job shadowing, internships, Co-op’s. These experiences are so valuable. It can either solidify what they want to do or show that path is not for them. Both are great outcomes! Whether they need a 2yr, 4yr, a Master’s degree for their career, they learn on the job, or other post-secondary education. All these take time and money, and this program can help them not waste either. Businesses need to support this program, for the future of our children and our businesses.

The age-old question - what do I want to do with my life? Deciding what a person wants to do for a career is one of the most important decisions they can make and has long term consequences. Valuable information is a necessity and needs to be made available. Businesses are asking where do I find the people that will help us meet our mission? How can I get my message out there to the students, counselors, and parents? Cradle to Career is working to help answer these questions, so if you're interested, and want to be involved here's a great way to get started. #careerawarness #workforcedevelopment
