COVID-19 has been a setback for millions of students looking for jobs and internships. But, one local organization hopes to show students how they can set themselves apart as they continue their search in the midst of the pandemic.
Northforce, a collaborative initiative run by Northspan, launched their Student Connect Program in honor of the new semester and the new year.
Elissa Hansen, President and CEO of Northspan, said the program will offer eight virtual opportunities for professional development.
According to Hansen, four of the professional development opportunities will be led by consultants.
“Students have the opportunity to spend 90 minutes with consultants including myself and others around learning more about personal branding, professional connections, personality profiles and team dynamics and then how to get involved in their community and what social impact is and means in the region,” Hansen said.
