LGBTQIA+ students often face unique challenges as they navigate career exploration and the job search process. And as career services professionals, understanding these students’ specific needs is critical to providing effective, inclusive, and equitable support.
Join us for a webinar discussion that will cover strategies and best practices for career services teams who are seeking to bolster their support for LGBTQIA+ students on their campus. Featuring Amanda Zielinski Slenski, Chief of Staff and Suede Graham, Director, of Out For Undergrad, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping high-achieving LGBTQ2+ undergraduates reach their full potential. Out For Undergrad is a headline partner for uConnect’s Curation Kit focused on LGBTQIA+ students.
During this one-hour discussion, we’ll cover:
- Some of the unique challenges that LGBTQIA+ students often encounter as part of career exploration
- Barriers or biases LGBTQIA+ students might face during interviews or internships, and how career services can coach them to be prepared to handle these situations confidently
- How career services teams can help students assess a company’s culture or inclusivity as part of the job search process
- How career leaders can best support LGBTQIA+ students in career development and immediate strategies that can be implemented to increase support
- How to consider adapting career advising, workshops, and resources to meet the unique needs and circumstances of LGBTQIA+ students
- And more!
Attendees will also have the opportunity to submit their questions as part of the audience Q&A to wrap up the webinar.
