Overview of class
The MSLCE Professional Development course is designed to prepare students for a career in the creative industries by complementing the theoretical MSLCE curriculum and the practical application of skills and strategy through self-assessment, reflection, industry engagement, and career opportunities. The most valuable elements this course provides are the space and time to think strategically about your career and connect on this topic with your colleagues.
Class time will be focused on elements of your individual career planning, professional and leadership development, leveraging practical strategies, and accountability. The course will achieve these objectives through goal articulation, group & individual coaching, refining individual professional value pitch, and industry networking. Additionally, the course will provide opportunities to interact with industry leaders and organizations through guest speakers and strategic individual industry connection.
The Professional Development course is a two-part sequenced course offered in Winter and Spring quarters. Enrollment in both courses is highly recommended but not required. Winter quarter enrollment is not a requirement to enroll in the spring course.
This course meets for the FIRST 5 WEEKS of the quarter - attendance at all five sessions is mandatory. Grading is Pass/No Pass.
