"Learn to listen. Opportunity could be knocking
at your door very softly." Frank Tyger

Part of the satisfaction an employee derives from the job may be related to opportunities for career advancement, and smart students who want to get a jump on their careers while still in school can tap into most of these opportunities, too. Here are a few IUPUI groups that can help:

Human Resources Administration

Training & Development
IUPUI Human Resources Administration offers a variety of sessions that can help you build your skills. The Fundamentals of Supervision Series, the Administrative Support Professionals Series and many stand-alone sessions such as Managing Change, Interviewing and Hiring, Payroll and Wage Practices, Workplace Violence Prevention, Performance Management, Assertive Communication, Workflow Analysis and Conflict Management are just a few examples. Go to http://www.hra.iupui.edu/TD_IUPUI.asp.

Work/Life
Trying to learn the things you want to know while balancing work/school and other things in your life can be difficult but with work/life workshops there's help. The opportunities are open to faculty, staff and students, are offered at a time that is convenient (usually lunch hour) and are usually free of charge. Past topics have included Basic Financial Management, Lawn Care, Eldercare, Long-Term Care Insurance, Home Buying, How to Fit Exercise Into Your Day, 10 Minute Meals, Kids and Etiquette, Leadership, Domestic Violence, Menopause and more. In the future, we will offer workshops on wellness, relationships, parenting and more. To get more information, click here.

Employment/Internships/Civic Engagement
Experiences gained through various jobs, student internships and community service can aid a person who is seeking to enhance/embark upon a career.
