Trocaire\u2019s Office of Student Life has launched a new initiative to help students develop their leadership abilities and enhance their career readiness: the Leadership Certificate Program.<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cCollege students have the unique opportunity to learn and lead during their time at higher education institutions, which is an experience that\u2019s difficult to replicate after graduating,\u201d explained Tom Vane, director of Student Engagement. \u201cGaining leadership knowledge and experience while still in school can set a student apart once it\u2019s time to find a job.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) released its 2019 Career Readiness fact sheet<\/a>, created by a task force comprised of representatives from both the higher education and corporate sides. The document highlights eight core competencies associated with career readiness for the new college graduate. Leadership is one of those core competencies.<\/p>\n Trocaire\u2019s Leadership Certificate Program provides students an opportunity to develop interpersonal skills; assess and manage their strengths; build collaborative relationships; and organize, prioritize, and delegate work.<\/p>\n Vane said the Leadership Certificate Program was created with the busy lives of Trocaire students in mind. To be certified in the program students must attend five leadership workshops (in no particular order); attend the WNY Student Leadership Conference (paid for by Student Life); and finally submit evidence of a leadership role in the community, whether that\u2019s a letter of reference or proof of a leadership position.<\/p>\n \u201cEmployers recognize the skills learned in a leadership program and respect the initiative to certify one\u2019s self,\u201d Vane said. \u201cWith leadership experience on your resume, you\u2019re more likely to get the attention of a hiring manager. Leadership experience is also a great talking point during interviews.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Trocaire\u2019s Office of Student Life has launched a new initiative to help students develop their leadership abilities and enhance their career readiness: the Leadership Certificate Program. \u201cCollege students have the unique opportunity to learn and lead during their time at higher education institutions, which is an experience that\u2019s difficult to replicate after graduating,\u201d explained Tom […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":867,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_oasis_is_in_workflow":0,"_oasis_original":0,"_oasis_task_priority":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[165,22,309,3,58],"tags":[354,355,69,70,20,356],"class_list":["post-866","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-career-training","category-education","category-leadership","category-student-life","category-students","tag-leadership-certificate-program","tag-national-association-of-colleges-and-employers","tag-student-life","tag-tom-vane","tag-trocaire-college","tag-wny-student-leadership-conference"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n\n
