Staff Development and Professional Services is taking sign-ups for a one-day Career Management Academy, described as an opportunity to explore the career assessment process.

“It’s natural to want a career that brings a high level of satisfaction, enrichment and opportunity for professional development,” organizers said. “The Career Management Academy offers comprehensive career assessment that facilitates self-knowledge, job satisfaction and the development of professional goals.”

Organizers said participants will inventory their work values, personality, interests and skills. “Participants will emerge with a renewed sense of direction, more confident and prepared to make informed work-life choices.”

Organizers said the course will use these assessment tools: Career Values Card Sort, SkillScan, Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and Strong Interest Inventory.

The instructors, Constance Stevens and Andrea Weiss, are nationally certified career counselors.

The academy is scheduled from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Jan. 29 in the Hamilton Room at the Heitman Staff Learning Center (between Bainer Hall and South Silo).

Online registration: lms.ucdavis.edu (you will find the Career Management Academy in the Career Management section). Space is limited. For questions, contact SDPS at (530) 752-1766 or sdps@ucdavis.edu.
