Build a High-Impact Model That Drives Retention, Student ROI & Career Readiness

Higher education institutions are increasingly challenged to demonstrate a clear return on investment (ROI), particularly in preparing students for successful post-graduation employment and career outcomes. Without strong, well-trained career coaching teams and service models, institutions may struggle to effectively guide students in career decision-making and readiness. This can lead to anxiety among students, uncertainty about career paths, and institutional concern about graduate outcomes and accountability metrics.

Gather your team and join us on August 5, 2026, as our expert presenter, from the award-winning Career Center at Florida Atlantic University, will share how their high-performing center built and sustains an effective model, supported by measurable outcomes and scalable practices. She will outline a comprehensive approach that integrates theory, staffing, space design and outcomes.

Topics Covered

Leave this training prepared with strategies to confidently:

• Implement a theory aligned career coaching framework that strengthens student decision making, career identity development, and academic engagement.
• Build a scalable coaching structure that supports high caseloads by adapting staffing, workflow, and service delivery strategies that expand your reach without overwhelming your team.
• Develop coaches who are confident, consistent, and equipped to deliver high impact student support through intentional professional development and an internal coaching pipeline.
• Leverage your physical and virtual spaces to enhance coaching effectiveness and create environments that foster belonging and readiness.
• Measure coaching outcomes data to communicate value to leadership, drive your institutional return on investment (ROI) and align your work with institutional priorities.
