VCU Career Champions
The VCU Career Champions training program is designed to provide faculty and staff with helpful tools, theories, and resources to draw upon when supporting students through their career development, experiential learning, and job search process. Everyone who participates will be recognized as a VCU Career Champion and receive a certification sticker similar to other programs on-campus such as Safe Zone, Rams in Recovery, Green Zone, etc. The program was originally piloted in Fall 2021 in alignment with the VCU Career Services Strategic Plan, and was revamped and relaunched in Fall 2023 with a one-session format to maximize sustainability and scalability for our campus community.
Our list of current VCU Career Champions can be found below. If you are interested in attending a future training session, please contact Samara Reynolds, Executive Director, to be added to our outreach list. We plan on hosting trainings at least once per semester, including over the summer, moving forward.
