New to evaluation? Come join the conversation ...
Lessons from the Trenches
Experienced evaluators never make mistakes.
Or do they?
Join a lively conversation on evaluation bloopers and lessons learned led by well-known evaluators Kylie Hutchinson, Diana Tindall and Marla Steinberg. Not all mistakes will have positive outcomes; positive for who? Errors can be learning opportunities.
This is an open session for anyone who is interested, from career transitioners, to students to new CES members or the curious. In the 2016 national member survey, CES heard you clearly say that more efforts can be made for new evaluators -- this is (y)our chance to pick up on recent Chapter initiatives and see what works to launch a national stream to connect and support new evaluators.
The conversation will wrap up with a call for interest of volunteers to form an ongoing working group to organize similar initiatives for emerging evaluators.
Date: January 29, 2018

Free webinar: DECODING THE GEN Z FACTOR
Every year, TalentEgg conducts a nationwide survey of student opinions, goals and preferences for their future careers and employers of choice and presents the results in a published report to an audience of employers and career educators at the TalentEgg National Campus Recruitment Excellence Awards and Conference. Over the past year, TalentEgg has been conducting additional informal outreach via social media and online surveys to obtain detailed feedback specifically from the Gen Z cohort in our community of students in university and college, as well as high school. The results reveal a startling departure from the stereotypical "Millennial" that provides a new framework for attracting young talent. Having grown up as the first native digital generation in history and in the shadow of a global recession, Gen Z young people demonstrate characteristics unique from their millennial predecessors that will influence the way employers attract, engage and recruit top young talent in 2018 and beyond.
