Curriculum

The Partnership for Public Service, in collaboration with the National Association for Colleges and Employers (NACE), offers a full-day interactive professional development training that equips you with the knowledge and resources needed to effectively advise students on the federal job search and application process. NACE, co-sponsor of this program, is an NBCC Approved Continuing Education Provider (ACEPTM). This program is eligible for 6.5 credit hours.

The program walks you through the nuts and bolts of the federal hiring process and offers tips from federal agencies and other experts in the field. Based on lessons from the Partnership’s Call to Serve Recruitment Initiative, a two-year pilot study of five college campuses and eleven federal agencies, you will also discuss and share ideas on effective approaches to building sustainable relationships with federal recruiters with staff and faculty from across the regional university community.

Learning Objectives:

• Learn how to navigate the federal process, including researching federal opportunities, deciphering federal applications and mastering KSA writing;
• Identify best practices for building agency relationships by leveraging existing university contacts and strategically developing new long-term relationships; and
• Discuss how to promote federal service in cost-effective and sustainable ways by involving the whole campus community and using on-campus stakeholders to promote federal service.
