Advisement
Career Advisement at the Early Childhood Innovation Center will assist you in exploring your experiences, goals, interests and values to tailor an individualized advancement plan.
An ECIC career advisor can help you make decisions as you plan your career path, and connect you with resources and support to ensure your success. Career advisement is focused on advancing career and professional development opportunities within your current and future workplaces. The personal barriers to entry and advancement for those who want to build a career working with young children are often layered and complex. Our approach to career advisement is holistic, focused on supporting the whole educator both at work and at home.
