Employer Conference Preview

This informative and interactive webinar discusses the benefits of joining SoACE as an employer. For the past seven months, talent acquisition professionals and their organizations have pivoted their strategic plans to adapt their services and programs amidst a pandemic. Not only were hiring schedules disrupted, but budgets have been restructured, and engagement has moved to a virtual format. Navigating this new landscape has presented challenges for career centers, employers, and students as we have sought to make sense of this unprecedented year. Attending this webinar will allow you to take a deeper dive into the upcoming SoACE Virtual Conference, learn more about the Employer Knowledge Group, and engage in a collaborative discussion on employer relevant topics such as virtual recruiting, sourcing candidates, and diversity recruitment initiatives.

Director's Think Tank

The Directors Think Tank provides an informal, open forum for Directors and others in career services with administrative responsibilities to discuss relevant topics and issues facing today's career centers and share ideas and solutions for success.
