Overview

This webinar series will focus on practices and design strategies to reach clients and keep them engaged in virtual career development services. The sessions will dig deeper into the selection and use of technologies for creating an engaging learning environment, how to design interventions for mixed media and an exploration of practice strategies that enrichen virtual and blended delivery.  

Who Should Attend 

This webinar series comes in response to a popular webinar delivered earlier this year by Tannis Goddard and will deepen the strategies and best practices career practitioners can use when providing remote career services. The series will provide evidence-based strategies and tools that can be adapted to a variety of career and learning settings for practitioners, managers and policymakers.  While a slow return to face-to-face services is occurring, this series will focus on creating engaging and sustainable service models that can enrich the delivery of career services during COVID-19 and beyond.
