The nonprofit sector currently employs nearly 14 million Americans - 11 percent of the U.S. workforce - and may need as many as 600,000 new leaders in the coming decades as today's leaders retire. This vibrant, growing part of the US economy is the sector “of choice” for many young people interested in careers in public service. But finding a nonprofit sector job is often more difficult than it should be.
A CALL TO SERVE: NONPROFIT JOBS 2010 is a day-long, interactive workshop on nonprofit careers designed for career service professionals (and other individuals who provide career advice). It will feature local and national experts on nonprofit organizations and careers.
Session participants will learn about:
- the size and scope of the nonprofit sector, the key subsectors within it, and range of job functions in nonprofit organizations
- key barriers to landing a nonprofit job, and strategies for overcoming those barriers
- job search strategies specific to the nonprofit sector
- the best and most current resources for nonprofit sector job preparation and job hunting
- tips for building connections to local and national nonprofits
- the nonprofit sector in Indiana and surrounding states
- national efforts to recruit talent to the sector
- campus programs in nonprofit leadership and management
Presented by American Humanics in partnership with Arizona State University, A CALL TO SERVE will take place on Tuesday, January 5, 2010, 9:00am – 5:00pm at the Hyatt Regency Downtown Phoenix, during the American Humanics Management/Leadership Institute, an intensive 4 day educational symposium which provides the capstone experience in nonprofit management and leadership education to all American Humanics students. The cost for the day-long workshop is $150, and includes lunch, snacks, and materials.
