(LIVE) DEI + Career Development 2.0: The Current State of Diversity,
Equity, and Inclusion in Career Development
Marked acts of racial violence and the implications of COVID-19 have
rendered numerous career disparities visible. To keep moving forward on the
implementation of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the field of career
development, the panel presenters will walk through challenges, opportunities,
actions, and systematic plans related to the current state of career
development practices and career services. Applications of DEI will cover the
overarching lens of DEI in career services, specific launching points to enact
DEI practices, and preparation for further challenges.

Professionals Working with International Students
First created as a task force during the NCDA conference in 2012, the

working with international students. This presentation will cover
accomplishments of ISSC and obstacles that ISSC is facing.

9 Pre-recorded Sessions:
- Portfolios for Skill
Development
Curricular and co-curricular experiences directly lead to career readiness. Students struggle to make the connection and frequently see coursework as separate from professional experience. Through building pathways into their long-running portfolio program, Columbia College Chicago is creating direct connections for students to use reflection as part of the skills identification process. Pathways provide a roadmap to a more inclusive process of career readiness.
Dirk Matthews, Columbia College Chicago
- Connect with Other
Professionals from Around the World in this Uncertain Time
Come and learn about the Global Connections Committee’s (GCC) work and how it relates to NCDA. We will highlight some key accomplishments and how NCDA could benefit from the work of the GCC.

- Assessing the Tech
Readiness of Clients
As we've rapidly moved to a virtual world, many individuals are left behind. Lack of technology or lack of tech skills marginalize the populations we are serving. In this workshop, we will review the NCDA technology assessment tool, explore our own technological biases, and identify ways to help those that lack resources to develop a successful career in this virtual world.
