Join us for these sessions at the 2025 Gathering:
Embracing Neurodiversity in the Workplace
Facilitator: Kelly K. Brown, Ph.D | Director, Counseling, Health & Wellness Services
Join us for an interactive session on neurodiversity in the workplace focused on practical tools you can use as a supervisor to create an inclusive work environment that embraces and supports neurodivergent student staff.
- Learn about neurodiversity.
- Discuss the ways traditional workplace norms often cater to neurotypical approaches to work and the challenges this creates for neurodivergent individuals.
- Explore strategies to foster inclusivity and adapt supervisory practices to support diverse approaches to learning and work.
Let’s build a culture together where inclusion is the norm and every team member can thrive.
Building Career Readiness: Embedding Competencies into Student Employment
Facilitators: Lisa Garza | Director of Career and Employment Services; Elizabeth Wormsbecker | Associate Director of Student Employment Programs, Training, and Development
Discover how to enhance student’s workplace learning by embedding career readiness competencies into your supervisory approach. As a supervisor of student staff, you can make career learning tangible for students in their on-campus employment, and help to foster a shared language and understanding of career readiness.
- Learn about the eight NACE Career Readiness Competencies and their role in preparing students for the workforce.
- Discuss methods to integrate and then assess these concepts within the student employment experience.
- Explore ways to engage students in meaningful conversations and intentional skill-building opportunities that foster career readiness.
On-campus student employment is a high-impact practice that can facilitate students’ pursuit of their own growth and development. Let’s work together to set them up for success in their career endeavors, both at and beyond Puget Sound.
Puget Sound is committed to being accessible to all people. If you have questions about accessibility for the Gathering, please contact Career and Employment Services at ces@pugetsound.edu or visit pugetsound.edu/accessibility.
