In this episode, Lisa and Drews discuss:What experiential learning is, and how your student can engage in these types of opportunities. The importance of beginning career conversations in middle school. Different types of experiential learning (and the varying commitment levels each requires).The power of asking “Tell me more?” and giving your student the reins to take control of their experiential learning. Key Takeaways: Consider both interests and aptitudes when helping your teen to unlock potential career paths. Start laying the foundation to build awareness for your student as young as sixth grade. Your student should be leading as you are assisting and supporting. There are many ways for students to explore different experiences from job shadowing, to volunteering, to after-school experiences, or a high school internship, and so many more. If the opportunity doesn't seem to exist, just ask because that can open doors for your student. “There are so many neat ways for families to engage in the opportunities to see and experience the real world. And I love the fact that this can be looked at from an awareness piece, it can be from an exploration piece, it can be from a planning piece, it can be from a doing piece.” – Drews MitchellAbout Drews Mitchell: Drews Mitchell earned an MA in School Counseling from Xavier University and has been serving as a counselor since 2007. His responsibilities have included the development and implementation of career-related awareness and assessment systems, group practice as well as counseling for both students and clients as well as their families.

Although a for-profit institution, Post University employs a unique and effective two-fold approach to ensure graduates are career-ready with lifelong learning skills that “not-for-profit” universities can emulate on their campuses. In this podcast episode, Dr. Drumm McNaughton speaks with Director Camille Dumont of the Center for Career and Professional Development (CCPD) about how she aligned career services with academia at Post University to better prepare students for the workforce. Camille discusses how Post ensures students are thinking about their careers from the moment they enroll and how online-only learners receive and benefit from the same services as those who attend the university on campus. Podcast Highlights Camille's mindset on lifelong learning is influenced by personal experience. She successfully transferred the skills she learned in the hotel industry to the healthcare industry and now to higher ed, where she works in career services. Originally, only Post's juniors and seniors took a critical Foundation course to learn critical information about their career choices alongside their cohorts in the same field of study. In these courses, students receive prompts to encourage online or in-person discussions so they can start thinking about what it is they want to do. On the academic side, students now have conversations with admissions and advising as soon as they are accepted to determine what major or career they might be interested in. Students are then enrolled in a CTC College to Career course based on their answers to provide them with important information as early as possible about their chosen career path, such as the lifestyles of current employees or possible outcomes in related occupations. This can either validate their interests or give them the opportunity to switch early on. On the non-academic side, a new CCPD program prepares students for the junior and senior Foundation courses as soon as they enroll. Students first take an assessment of who they are and then build different types of resumes, participate in mock interviews, and learn the art of interviewing and networking, along with the benefits of joining professional associations. CCPD also meets virtually with online students throughout the week. CCPD uses the virtual job platform Handshake to conduct virtual career fairs for online students. Post's webinars inform these students how to prepare for a virtual career fair such as how to ensure they have the proper background, lighting, and attire. Meanwhile, students create their resumes and upload them onto Handshake. CCPD has programs where employers or alumni talk to students on campus. These events are livestreamed, recorded, and hosted on the university website and YouTube channel for online-only students. These recordings are also repurposed for additional learning opportunities. For example, students are asked to identify what skills employers say they need in these recordings and, if they can, to add them to their resume or incorporate them into their overall conversation with employers when applying for a job or internship. Post University starts at the basics by not assuming students know everything about transitioning to the workforce to ensure everyone is on the same page. For example, students are taught what a discussion board, rubric, or resume is. Post also ensures that students understand that all work experience matters and that the skills they learned in these jobs are transferrable to various careers. For instance, retail workers acquire customer service and communication skills. Post students have access to a locked closet with gently used professional men's and women's attire that have been donated by staff and faculty members. Students can try these clothes on and even take them for use in interviews and career fairs, etc. Read the transcript → About Our Podcast Guest Camille Dumont, recently named Director of the Center for Career and Professional Development (CCPD) at Post University, brings a wealth of experience to the role. She has been part of the university since 2011, initially as a faculty member and then in various leadership roles. With a background in health services management and a strong foundation in business skills gained from her early career at the Plaza Hotel in New York City, Camille is well-equipped to lead the CCPD. She has also been actively involved in professional organizations like CCCDA, NACE, and NCDA. Camille's goal is to expand CCPD services to benefit all Post students, both on-campus and online, with innovative programs and support for their career journeys.

This episode is part of a series celebrating #NationalMentoringMonth. Lots of research on mentoring has helped dispute some myths, but there are still many common misconceptions that hold organizations back from implementing mentoring programs and as a result hold people back from participating in them. Karol Taylor leads a myth-busting conversation with two mentor and mentee pairs from NCDA's pilot mentoring program: Christian Chan and Yangyang Liu, and Missy Wheeler and Ashley Osborne. The discussion explores expectations of participating in a mentoring relationship, and strategies for building these relationships in your own career with curiosity, commitment, and caring.

Bobbie & Meg really enjoyed the experience and of course it wasn't without its mishaps which we discuss in this podcast. The presentation was a part of the MCDA's bi-Annual State Conference. Unfortunately, due to Covid-19, the MCDA had to shift the conference to a Zoom format (which is actually working out really well). FYI, for anyone working in the career advising field, there are more presentations coming up if anyone wants to join the MCDA and check them out! It is only $20/year to join and all are welcome.

A month or so ago I was at the indoor shooting range, and there was a legit bullseye shooter in the lane next to me. I ran my target out next to his (25y), and tried to best his groups. The best I could muster were groups about double the size of his, and I was shooting with both hands, and he was only using one. Ever since then I've been thinking that I could probably learn a thing or two from shooting a few Bullseye matches. The idea of being absolutely, crazily, laser accurate with a pistol is very interesting to me. While looking into the more accuracy based competitions, I came across this old episode of the Power Factor Show with Caleb Giddings talking about Bianchi Cup. I've always kind of rolled my eyes at it as an "action" type shooter, but more and more I think it could be good for me to try something that's more accuracy based. If you're an action type shooter that's shot a few Bullseye matches, I'd be interested to hear if you had any takeaways from it. The News The North Marianias Islands had their handgun ban repealed just a week or so ago by a Federal judge, and now in response their House and Senate have passed a bill that will add a $1000 tax onto the price of any handgun sold there. What a joke, this is an obvious infringement. Guns.com has more on it here. Here's the text of the bill (.pdf). The NC Department of Agriculture has released their report on the feasability of having a place to store guns at the gate of the NC State Fair. As expected, they said it was a bad idea. Here's episode 103 of the podcast where Ben and I break down the whole situation as it was unfolding 2 years ago. Here's the report that the NCDA released. It's in plain text, and only about 8 pages, I'd recommend reading it. Gear that Doesn't Suck I love my Spyderco Delica 4 with the Wave opener. It's just a fantastic knife that I've been carrying for about 5 years now. There was a time when I got frustrated with getting the VG-10 steel good and sharp, but once I learned a good technique, it's just been fantastic. The Wave feature is what really sets the knife apart. It makes it one hand opening without having using any springs or anything like an assisted opening knife which can have dubious legality in some places. Dryfire Drill of the Week: A new shooter on the IDPA Facebook group asked about ow to practice shooting from cover after getting a lot of cover calls at his first IDPA match. It's pretty simple really, set up some type of barricade in your dryfire dojo, and then film yourself with your phone engaging the targets from behind the cover of the barricade. You can then review the video you make sure you're keeping the appropriate amount of your body behind cover.
