Facilitating Career Development Classes

Facilitating Career Development (FCD) is a 120-hour training course (combined face-to-face and online) that serves two purposes: 1) To gain knowledge and skills to prepare you to better serve students/clients/jobseekers as a trained Career Services Provider. 2) To prepare you to take the Certified Career Services Provider (CCSP) exam or as the prerequisite for the Global Career Development Facilitator (GCDF) certification. Both CCSP and GCDF are nationally recognized certifications.

Poverty Simulations

The Bridges Out of Poverty workshop helps participants gain a better understanding of how people from generational poverty view the world. This includes mental models, internal pictures of how the world works, which determine how we view ourselves and those we interact with. It also includes hidden rules, the unspoken cues and habits that come from the environment in which one was raised. It concludes with a discussion of resources that are needed in order to overcome the challenges of poverty. Workshops can be targeted to specific groups: College staff that interact with students, organizations working with individuals returning from incarceration, companies looking to reduce turnover. Workshops vary in length and can be customized to local needs.

Living on the Edge: A Poverty Simulation is intended to move community leaders to think about the harsh realities of poverty and to talk about how communities can address the problem. It is a half-day program that brings together educators, social service providers, elected officials, clergy, employers and others to experience first-hand a typical month of living with extremely limited resources. The simulation is a unique, interactive experience that helps people begin to understand what life is like with a shortage of money and an abundance of stress.
