If You build It With Them, They Will Come: Creating a Peer Workforce Program With Learners
Friday December 13, 2024 1:50pm - 2:40pm EST
Cumberland/Kennebec


The Peer Career Guide program was created at The University of Southern Maine's Career & Employment Hub through partnership with students to determine the information and support they wanted for successful career discovery and access to the workforce after graduation. This collaboration with Career Hub staff and Maine employers has empowered students to be trained in developing the skills they find most valuable and to teach these skills to their peers. Discover how we involve our students in the design and management of the program to create student buy-in and achieve successful outcomes and the critical role that employers can play in encouraging and advancing student engagement.
