Join a weekly group session with other like-minded students. Lessons cover content applicable to all students in the group, allowing for skill building toward success in any field. Lessons include focus topics for the week that build toward a group goal to be accomplished by the end of the cohort.
Each student will enter the cohort with an idea of what their personal skillset is and where they need extra support. Individually, students will work with a teacher to determine optimal professional pathways based on interest and current circumstances so actionable steps can be tailored to the direction the student wishes to take.
Students will be tasked with portfolio projects to boost their resumes. Additionally, a CV-style resume and LinkedIn profile will be polished to attract employers and/or clients for entrepreneurial students. Weekly action steps will be taken toward personal goals.
Students will connect with business leaders and organizations through low-pressure, informational style interviewing techniques. These connections will serve as a basis for students to begin building a professional network. Opportunities are more reliant on WHO you know rather than WHAT you know. The WHAT can be learned, the WHO must be built and cultivated.
The Employer Council is a group of community leaders, business owners, entrepreneurs, and mentors who recognize the unmatched value of Mom. The backbone of our world is mothers. Without mothers, our houses are colder, our food less seasoned, and our phones don't ring. But Moms need support from community leaders to build skills and find work that is flexible to their role in their children's lives and dedicated to placing them professionally where they will thrive.
Research shows that motherhood enhances critical workplace skills like time-management, multitasking, communication and empathy. Surveys reveal that most employees believe working mothers make businesses more successful and rate them highly in leadership qualities
Areas you can serve on the council are:
At Executive U, we know your most precious resource is Time. Therefore, we want to invite you to participate as little or as fully as you would like.
Being a council member may simply be reaching out when you have an opening (especially remote and hybrid options) or as intensive as leading a workshop of your choice.
The only requirement for our Employer Council members is that you have a mom, so you know how important it is to support them.
Looking forward to connecting with you!
