Description
Along with embracing knowledge, faith-based institutions and schools deeply influenced by faith and the search for knowledge, stress integrity of character. These institutions are rooted in a deep concern beyond academics, and seek to provide students the tools needed for a well-rounded purposeful life. This session will explore the strengths and limitations of providing career and experiential education at faith-based institutions. Best-practices and resources will be shared, including program highlights from our Careers with a Conscience event; partnerships with non-profit organizations that provide career clothing to those in need; and the Advantage Academy, an academic and career development program in partnership with the NYC Department of Homeless Services. Participants will be encouraged to share new ideas for helping students embrace faith and discover a life-long sense of meaningful purpose.
