Using Professional Development Experiential Learning Workshops to Build Career Skills

This presentation will provide an overview of a series of professional development (PD) experiential workshops for students that are part of a college wide experiential learning strategy. PD experiential workshops are used to target skills not normally taught in the classroom such as running an effective meeting, preparing your own taxes, managing your digital brand, learning digital photoshop and others. The results of surveys conducted for each workshop will demonstrate that running PD experiential workshops is a unique and effective way to augment student skill building and better prepare students for the real world challenges of their careers.
