Professional Development Panel: Career Pathing in Financial Aid

In today's evolving workforce and the increasingly complex world of financial aid, preparing yourself and your team for the future is more important than ever. Proactively investing in professional development enhances employee engagement and job satisfaction, in turn reducing turnover and time to competency. One effective approach to fostering growth is career pathing—a purposeful and strategic plan for skill development, relationship-building, and career advancement.

Join this webinar to hear from a panel of experienced financial aid professionals who will share expert advice and real-life examples for cultivating the skills and abilities of financial aid office staff. You'll also gain valuable insights into the recent efforts of several NASFAA Task Forces to define key financial aid competencies and promote career path awareness within the profession. Don't miss this opportunity to learn practical strategies for strengthening your team and advancing the future of financial aid!
