Generative AI is a requested skill in job descriptions across industries, and AI is one of the top skills employees want to learn. We read posts about how AI tools can be used in career services and the best prompts to use, but most are still unsure of the appropriate tools to use, how to incorporate them in a way that best serves their clients’ job search process, and what to watch out for to ensure ethical use and avoid missteps. We lack practical case studies shared from a career development lens and a reframe of “prompt engineering” that incorporates our expertise for the best outcomes from the tools. [/vc_column_text][spacing desktop_height=”35″ mobile_height=”25″ smobile_height=”10″][headings alignment=”” heading_color=”#568caf” heading=”Why career professionals should attend”][spacing desktop_height=”20″][vc_column_text]Generative AI and other AI tools are a powerful addition to the career service toolkit, speeding up research, improving jobseeker approach, and freeing up time for transformational coaching interaction. But they can also create content that raises red flags and provide incorrect or misleading answers.

In this series, career services providers will get a comprehensive toolkit for using AI tools and generative AI alongside career development best practices for the best client outcomes. Participants will engage in a hands-on learning series where they will be walked through several tools and scenarios to experiment with, along with opportunities to exchange and discuss with colleagues in smaller groups. Based on tests of dozens of tools, attendees will get recommendations for free or low-cost resources for working with clients, guidelines for using these tools ethically, and new ways to think about prompting in generative AI tools.

At the end of the series they will know how to use tools to improve career exploration and research, job search and interviewing, and writing career search documents like resumes, LinkedIn profiles and cover letters. [/vc_column_text][spacing desktop_height=”35″][spacing desktop_height=”35″ mobile_height=”25″ smobile_height=”10″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/3″][headings alignment=”” heading_color=”#568caf” tag=”h3″ heading=”Webinar N°1: AI Tools in Career Exploration & Research”][spacing desktop_height=”10″ mobile_height=”5″ smobile_height=”2″][headings alignment=”” heading_color=”#000000″ tag=”h6″ heading_font_weight=”600″ heading=”Wednesday, May 8, 2024, from 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm ET”][spacing desktop_height=”20″][vc_column_text]
