Isn't it time you invested in your own career development?
Management Leadership Institute is a five-day, professionally intensive workshop led by a faculty of experienced career services practitioners. MLI offers practical information and opportunities to network with peers and learn from experienced colleagues who have successfully met the challenges of career center management.
You will:
- Learn leadership skills useful for peer management and managing traditional direct reports.
- Discover how you can add value and balance to your career center's missions and goals.
- Get new methods of increasing the visibility of your career center within the university setting.
- Develop a financial management plan and manage a budget under pressure.
- Build a valuable network of colleagues in the career services profession.
Session topics include:
- Leadership
- Strategic planning
- Marketing and branding
- Critical human resource skills for new managers
- Ethical issues in career center management
- Budgeting
This program is designed especially for new directors or mid-career professionals with two to seven years of experience in career services. The content is tailored to practitioners without extensive management training. Participants must be committed to learning and are required to complete some assignments prior to the Institute.
You spend your days helping other people find the right career path. You advise, consult, recommend, research, direct, and negotiate. Now, it's your turn. Take the opportunity to develop new skills and build a professional network that will help you lead for a lifetime at the 2010 Management Leadership Institute.
Here's what career services practitioners who attended MLI have to say:
This was the most relevant and beneficial conference I've ever attended. It's focused, motivational, and provides tools to enhance your staff, yourself, and your career center in an organized, straight forward manner. A great experience!

After all the conferences I've attended over the last 10 years, the information I gained in the MLI will be more beneficial to me overall as I continue in my career. I gained so much personal insight, tangible and concrete material to implement, and information to share with my colleagues than I anticipated. This was fantastic and I recommend the experience to all professionals in our field! (Wish I had done this much earlier in my career!)
