Clarity Education and CIPM: Pioneering Career Service Excellence
Introduction
The importance of robust career services in higher education institutions cannot be overstated. Clarity Education Limited, in collaboration with the Chartered Institute of Personnel Management (CIPM), is spearheading an initiative to enhance the effectiveness of career service centres in Nigeria. This article outlines the solutions offered, the significance of the CIPM 2024 International Conference & Exhibition, and the benefits of subscribing to WorkExperience Online (WESOnline).
Empowering Career Service Centres
Clarity Education Limited, in partnership with CIPM, aims to fortify the operations of career service centres across Nigerian higher education institutions. The goal is to foster professional development for career centre staff and personnel involved in delivering career services across various departments and faculties. This initiative is crucial for preparing graduates to meet the evolving demands of the job market.
Attend the CIPM 2024 International Conference & Exhibition
One of the highlights of this initiative is the CIPM 2024 International Conference & Exhibition, scheduled for October 14-17, 2024, in Abuja. For the first time, the conference will feature a specialized track dedicated to career service professionals in tertiary institutions. This is an invaluable opportunity for career services practitioners to gain new insights, network with peers, and connect with those who oversee graduate recruitment (CIPM Nigeria).
Benefits of Attending the CIPM ICE 2024
Attending the CIPM ICE 2024 offers several advantages:
- Professional Growth: Participants can become full-fledged members of CIPM, unlocking further benefits for their professional growth and recognition in the field of career advancement.
- Networking Opportunities: The conference provides a platform to connect with HR professionals and organizations that employ graduates from their institutions.
- Specialized Training: The specialized track for career counsellors ensures that participants gain targeted knowledge and skills relevant to their roles.
For institutions benefitting from the TETFUND Career Services Intervention, the CIPM Annual Conference with the specialized track on career services is the ideal choice (the TETFUND intervention makes provision for conference attendance).
