DESCRIPTION:

From education to retirement, careers tend to follow a life cycle. These cycles will vary depending on the person, and life changes outside of work, such as having a family or making a long-distance move, can affect the path forward. Planning your career's life cycle and using your leadership to intentionally build a diverse workforce, are part of contributing to an equitable and sustainable field of prevention. In this webinar, we will discuss how you can plan your career life cycle from wherever you are now, so moving forward you can support the growth and continued institutional knowledge of the prevention workforce.
