Career Pathways for our Profession

Committee Charge: The Career Pathways for our Profession Task Force will articulate the job architecture by which members of our profession are organized and will include characteristics like job titles, levels and typical responsibilities. You will articulate the longer-term view on potential avenues and developmental opportunities that exist – proving that one does not need to leave the profession to grow and develop. The task force will leverage both NACE and external research to outline a career ‘Map’ for both Career Center and UR&R professionals. The outline will reflect applicable roles in each functional area, along with identifying how to move up or laterally to a new track (individual contributor vs leader) or into new pathway (Career Center to UR&R or vice versa) and necessary competencies to get there.
