The Toppel Career Center is thrilled to announce the newest Certified Career Champions, a group of faculty and staff at the University of Miami who provide support to students as they navigate their careers.
Students often utilize their mentors outside of the Toppel Career Center for support as they tackle career decisions. Therefore, we launched the Career Champions Certification Program in 2019 to provide faculty and staff with strategies and tools to better guide them. Career Champions are regularly updated about new and exciting things happening at the Toppel Career Center, trends in career education and employment, and much more. We also invite Champions to engage with us through a variety of programs and initiatives, while encouraging other colleagues to become Career Champions.
