So far scholars have participated in the following professional development opportunities:
Build Your Network Workshop
In this workshop, scholars learn how to harness their current networks, build social capital, and make connections on campus, LinkedIn and beyond.
Uncover your Strengths Workshop
Through this workshop, scholars learn about their character strengths and how to leverage these to further their academic & career goals.
Personal Wellness and Self Care
This workshop focuses on the different aspects of personal wellness. Scholars developed their own wellness plans and self care strategies.
Individual Career Coaching Sessions with Realizing Aptitudes
Each scholar meets one-on-one with their Career Coach to discuss their needs and set personal goals related to career development such as researching desired programs or fields, conducting informational interviews or job shadows, completing a resume, or finding an internship.
Scholars Update
Our Scholars Update is on Rachel. She has been accepted into the nursing program at CU-Anschutz! She came to the US as an unaccompanied refugee minor in high school and learned English. A Forward Steps Guardian Scholar since 2019, Rachel has shown tremendous determination to reach her career goal of becoming a nurse, and we’re so excited to celebrate this achievement with her!
Congratulations, Rachel!
