Thanks very much for this career oriented program. I am curious about the presenters, and the qualifications and experience they bring to the task. Head hunters, professional placement personnel, company directors, private sector and government representatives, psychologists (too many of our candidates must come down to earth from our Ivory Tower)?
Thanks for your interest, Carmen. Our presenters are largely language and literature PhDs (and some from other humanities disciplines) who have transitioned very successfully into a wide variety of careers in cultural organizations, educational institutions, government, businesses, and nonprofits.
