SUMMARY:National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE):  From Learning to Earning: Building Accessible Pathways from Campus to Career
DESCRIPTION:The National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) is hosting From Learning to Earning: Building Accessible Pathways from Campus to Career on Thursday\, October 22nd\, from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM. \nInternships can be a powerful bridge between education and employment\, providing students with opportunities to apply what they have learned\, develop career competencies\, build professional relationships\, and gain the confidence and experience needed to navigate the workplace. Yet\, the 2020 Census reported that people with disabilities are less likely to enter and complete college\, and many post-secondary career development programs do not recognize the inequities that students with disabilities face during the transition from education to employment. Therefore\, thoughtfully designed internships are imperative for garnering increased participation among students with disabilities\, and collaboration across traditional institutional boundaries can serve to optimize the design process. This session will highlight a partnership between CU Boulder and the State of Colorado’s Division of Vocational Rehabilitation (DVR) that helped create and support a successful multi-month internship for Keith\, a neurodivergent recent graduate of the university. \nClick here to learn more and register.

SUMMARY:Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM): The Resilience Advantage - Building Workplaces That Thrive
DESCRIPTION:The Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) is hosting The Resilience Advantage: Building Workplaces That Thrive on Tuesday\, October 20th\, starting at 11:00 AM. \nThis is the first session of SHRM’s Healthy Workplaces Virtual Retreat. HR professionals won’t want to miss this powerful virtual retreat designed to address today’s most pressing workplace challenges. Resilience isn’t something we’re born with it\, it’s a skill we build\, day by day\, through how we respond to change. In this opening keynote\, SHRM CEO Johnny C. Taylor\, Jr. sits down with Chris Carey\, CEO of Calm Health\, to explore why workplace stress and burnout remain at record highs even as conversations about mental health have become more open — and what’s still missing from the equation. Together\, they’ll examine the shift from reactive support to proactive resilience-building\, the growing role AI plays in shaping employee wellbeing\, and why mental health is best understood not as a benefit\, but as a business strategy. The conversation will also look at what resilient leadership looks like in practice\, and how executives can model it for their teams. Attendees will leave with a clearer picture of how to build organizations where people don’t just survive — they thrive. \nClick here to learn more and register.

SUMMARY:Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM): Unwritten Rules\, Real Risk: AI’s Legal Exposure in HR on
DESCRIPTION:The Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) is hosting a webinar on Unwritten Rules\, Real Risk: AI’s Legal Exposure in HR on Wednesday\, October 14th\, starting at 1:00 PM. \nArtificial intelligence is transforming the workplace\, but the legal framework governing its use in employment remains largely unwritten.
