“Tomorrow’s Path: Career Services for the Future”
The Strategic Ohio Council for Higher Education (SOCHE) invites you to the 2024 SOCHE Career Services Conference, held on Friday, Oct. 11, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Clark State’s Hollenbeck Bayley Conference Center (275 S. Limestone St.) in Springfield. The theme for our event is “Tomorrow’s Path: Career Services for the Future.”
During the morning, you will be able to choose from three different, repeating concurrent sessions that will show you how to help jobseekers identify and sell their transferable skills; provide you with insight into all the generations in today’s workplace, especially the group now graduating, Gen Z; and give you a peek into virtual networking options and how jobseekers can maximize their use of this modern tool.
Our lunchtime keynote, presented by Monique Frost from The Career Leadership Collective, will focus on developing career services that align with a contemporary work environment. Finally, we’ll end the day by hearing from a panel of experts who have been successful in implementing artificial intelligence (A.I.) in career services. They also will give you guidance on how you, too, can leverage this popular technology for the benefit of the students you serve.
Plan now to join us for our first in-person Career Services conference since 2017. We hope to see you there!
