Calling all academic librarians! You're invited to an engaging webinar on April 16 that explores how CareerShift, an all-in-one job search and career management platform, can empower libraries to arm students with the essential tools to confidently conquer today’s job market. Academic libraries play a crucial role in boosting student success, extending their support beyond research to encompass career preparation.

Our guest speaker, Noah Simon, Director of Career and Professional Development at the University at Albany, is set to share some golden nuggets on how their institution leverages CareerShift to its fullest potential. He'll dive into the myriad ways this tool supports students in job hunting, networking, and exploring a spectrum of career paths, boosting their career readiness.

Plus, we’ll uncover some innovative strategies for libraries to team up with career services departments—or even spearhead the effort themselves—to provide access to this essential resource. This collaboration can truly elevate the library's role in championing student success and career development.

I'm NOT an Academic Librarian - Does This Webinar Apply to Me?

Yes! We can and always should gather inspiration from other sectors to better serve our own user demographic. If something an academic library does can give you inspiration for your library, then that's time well-spent.

So, whether you're an Academic, Public, School, Government, Hospital, or Special Librarian of any kind - if you're interested in connecting job seekers with a better way to network and job search - then join us for this helpful instructional webinar!
