Career Corner: Idealist's New Webinar Series

If you work in a career service office at a university in the United States, take note: we are launching a new webinar series that will help you to understand and speak to the unique issues around the nonprofit career search.


From February to May, we'll offer our first series in order to provide greater accessibility to nonprofit-specific career search information. In it, we will employ a train-the-trainer approach, with all information being directly applicable to a diverse range of campuses and students as well as connected to curricula for use in your office. Each month, we will also be including an Expert Panel with guest professionals who can speak to how they most effectively use Idealist.

Webinar titles include:

* Welcome to Idealist (Wednesday, February 18): a comprehensive overview of the Idealist website
* What Job Seekers Need to Know About the Nonprofit Sector (Thursday, March 19): a discussion of the important nuts and bolts of the nonprofit sector and its hiring process
* International Volunteering and Service Opportunities (Wednesday, April 15): an examination of the range of international volunteering and full-time service corps opportunities
* Passion is Not Enough: Tips to Leverage Your Passion and Professional Experience into a Nonprofit Career: ways to help alumni and experienced professionals use Idealist tools and other careers-related resources in their job searches
