This course pushed me way outside my comfort zone. Beyond growing as a confident speaker, I was able to learn how to think like a recruiter and discover ways to help employers reach students.

I recently took part in the Employer Engagement Academy where I met with and learned from Employer Relations professionals across the nation. We had the opportunity to share our thoughts, ideas, failures, and wins. The program provided opportunities to hear from employers as well as my counterparts to gain clarity, validation, and resources to help each and every one of us be the best we can be.

It was great to meet so many professionals doing similar work. It will definitely help me to work better and smarter.

I am excited to announce my graduation from the Employer Engagement Academy USA!!! It was an honor connecting with professionals across the nation, and I absolutely loved the curriculum! Big thanks to the Brainstorm team for all their support and help in advancing my career in Employer Relations!

The course was just the right length and substance and offered an opportunity to connect and brainstorm with peers from across the U.S. Graham did an outstanding job of laying out course expectations and next steps in each session. Would highly recommend this, especially for someone new to the employer relations career!

It is our every effort as a college to support our students in their educational and occupational endeavors. It is just as significant and important to support our businesses and industries in productive communication and partnerships to develop a strong workforce and economy. The academy offers an opportunity of learning to support our collegiate teams to create the needed communications and programs to continue to expand and grow student and employer connections and fortuitous outcomes!

This program gave me insightful information and an opportunity to learn from professionals in the field and my peers. Highly Recommended.

I am so grateful that I got to participate in the Employer Engagement Academy! This professional development resource allowed me to learn more about how to be more effective on my campus through employer relations. The 4-week course connected me to other Employer Relations colleagues from around the US and allowed us to work together to understand and develop the skills that we use within our specific roles. I recommend anyone who is new and has had experience in this area to engage with this academy. I'm looking forward to applying all that I learned.

Convenient way to connect with peers, learn better approaches to working with employers and you also walk away with tools that will help you immediately. Good intro to employer relations for two of our new employer relations staff members.

Thank you and everyone involved in putting on such an awesome learning experience! The information, networking, and resources provided were excellent. I am excited to take what I have learned back to my campus and team.

As someone new to employer relations, I found this very helpful. I was able to learn the basics and dive into some of the nuances of this industry as well. I would highly recommend this to anyone in employer relations at a college or university.

Throughout my career, I have attended hundreds if not thousands of hours of training. This training was the most engaging, informative, and had the most impact. Our team came away from each week with new strategies and ways we can improve. Thank you.

This course really opened my eyes to employers' perspectives (and frustrations and limitations!) on the recruiting process. I feel more confident about my ability to be an effective partner to them moving forward.

This was the most beneficial virtual training I've ever attended! It had helpful content delivered in an effective way and supported by a sleek, easy to use virtual platform. I increased my understanding of employer relations and had the opportunity to network and learn best practices. I look forward to applying what I learned in this program.

This course helped give me the knowledge and confidence to advocate to leadership a need to invest in employer engagement. I was able to share about possible strategies, tools, and customer service skills to support building positive relationships that can ultimately support the success of our students and community.

As a Career Specialist for a long-standing, metro-City, Community College, a background in Workforce Development, B2B Sales, and Training and Development...this program was top drawer. I didn't expect to gain more than I have experienced but I did. I liked the "break-out" sessions to share among professionals from other post-secondary institutions from all over the country.

I appreciated the approach presented in the Employer Engagement Academy that provided fundamental strategies and tactics that are proven best practices in relationship building, sales and CRM – which are typically outside of higher education – we were encouraged to use these to add value for our universities and employers.

As a brand new Employer Relations professional this training gave me a great opportunity to connect with new colleagues and learn from employers right away.

As someone who is not new to this field, I was pleasantly surprised at how much I learned in the Academy. It was a pleasure!

As someone who started in employer relations in the pandemic, participating in this program was a great opportunity for me to learn more about my area as a whole since everything has been so different for the majority of my time in this role. From breakout sessions with peers, to employer feedback on key topics surrounding our role, to best practices, this program gives employer relations professionals at all levels something to takeaway.

The Employer Engagement Academy allowed me the opportunity to network with amazing professionals and learn great insights on how to build our relationships with employers!

The Employer Engagement Academy is a great resource for those who are new to the field and for seasoned professionals who'd like a refresher. The material is broad, relevant, and useful.

The Employer Engagement Academy was such a valuable experience as we spent each week diving into content that impacts the day-to-day work of employer relations professionals. From discussing how employer relations professionals aid their employer partners with their top challenges, to how our work ties into our employers' DEI initiatives, the content was relevant, current and insightful. I also loved making connections with many employer relations professionals from across the country! It was great hearing and learning from employer relations professionals at various stages within this career.

The employer engagement academy was such a unique experience. As a new employer relations professional, I enjoyed interacting with professionals from other institutions as well as the leaders of the EEA. I learned so much from the panel professionals as well as my team members. All the topics were great and engaging, I acquired an insurmountable amount of knowledge that will help me throughout my career. Thank you Employer Engagement Academy.

The Employer Engagement Academy is so great! The panels are enlightening and group discussions were collaborative and informative. This is perfect for professionals new to employer relations, or in need of a refresher.
