Last year, the Partnership for Public Service\u2019s Call to Serve Network<\/a> created a new program specifically for higher education professionals in these exact scenarios. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The Federal Advisor Certificate Program<\/a> is a seven-week asynchronous professional development program designed for participants to gain expertise in the federal career landscape and provide go-to resources customized to campus needs. Featuring over 50 videos with federal hiring managers and public servants across academic disciplines and career areas<\/a>, the program provides a depth of knowledge and tangible tools for advisers to use in their student programming. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The joy of interfacing with higher education professionals across career levels, specializations, areas of expertise, location, institution type and more has been such a highlight of the past year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n When I read some of this feedback from Federal Advisor Certificate Program alumni, I felt like I had stepped right back into my previous advising scenarios.<\/p>\n\n\n As a young career service professional, it can be easy to doubt your knowledge and advice, especially when it comes to federal positions which have such stark differences from the private sector. The information in this course has been incredibly comprehensive and allowed me to be a confident federal advisor. Recently, I had a career coaching appointment where a student needed to navigate USAJOBS, and I found myself excited to walk him through the process… I felt like I unlocked a superpower.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/ourpublicservice.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Bennett-Nesley.png\")
