JobsPLUS Events
What Students Are Saying
One of the most impactful (JobsPLUS) events was What's My Style? Learning to Communicate with Others. The personalized nature of the workshop allowed me to analyze my own personality and communication style, and the interactive component demonstrated the benefits and downfalls of each style as well as communicated how to use each style's strengths to effectively accomplish a goal.
Through the (JobsPLUS) seminars I was able to connect with professionals outside of NIU who gave us insight on how to be better managers.
I enjoyed JobsPLUS professional development events because they allowed me to learn a variety of new skills. The events were all presented by a professional who was insightful and gave effort to get us to participate with our own opinions. It allowed me to meet other students which was great for networking. I strongly suggest that future students attend these events to further widen the array of skills at their disposal. It will help them with their transition from academia to a work environment.
