Socially Innovative Nonprofit | Career Management Workshops

Challenge: A socially innovative nonprofit wanted to offer professional development opportunities for their summer interns, a diverse group of students from top schools with a passion for conservation.

Solution: Two training programs were designed and delivered for summer interns: (1) managing their summer internship and making an impact, and (2) building and marketing a personal brand for career success.

Coaching Results: The interns:

• Engaged in a dynamic learning experience (conducted both in-person and virtually) where they brainstormed, completed small-group activities, and (daringly!) participated in on-the-spot exercises such as sharing an elevator pitch.
• Assessed and evaluated their values, top strengths, and passions.
• Learned 5 keys to career success : Goal setting, tracking results, networking and building relationships, collecting feedback, and assessing impact.
• Met with Ellen between training sessions to address individual career challenges, including how to ready for entering the world of work as graduation neared.

“The workshop content allowed participants to have a one-on-one experience even in a group setting. Overall the experience was engaging, informative, and very worthwhile.”  - Talent Acquisition Associate
