Career Management Academy

The last Career Management Academy of the 2009-10 academic year is scheduled for July 23. Four spots remained as of today (July 9).

The academy, as described by Staff Development and Professional Services, is an opportunity to explore the career assessment process.

“It’s natural to want a career that brings a high level of satisfaction, enrichment and opportunity for professional development,” organizers said. “The Career Management Academy offers comprehensive career assessment that facilitates self-knowledge, job satisfaction and the development of professional goals.”

Organizers said participants will inventory their work values, personality, interests and skills. “Participants will emerge with a renewed sense of direction, more confident and prepared to make informed work-life choices.”

Organizers said the course will use these assessment tools: Career Values Card Sort, SkillScan, Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and Strong Interest Inventory.

The instructors, Constance Stevens and Andrea Weiss, are nationally certified career counselors.

The academy is scheduled from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. in the Hamilton Room at the Heitman Staff Learning Center (between Bainer Hall and South Silo).

Online registration: lms.ucdavis.edu (you will find the Career Management Academy in the Career Management section). Space is limited. For questions, contact SDPS at (530) 752-1766 or sdps@ucdavis.edu.
