The Employer Relations Academy (ERA) is the premier interactive training experience that integrates a cohort model with employer relations best practices to develop relationships, internships, and jobs for students and early career professionals. Career Vogue’s academy is designed to provide the essential fundamentals and foundational framework necessary to be successful for novice and intermediate level staff at college and university career centers.
​
Attendees participate in a series of online challenges, earn badges, and conduct real research to identify actual individuals and employer networks (leads) that serve as access points to develop jobs, internships, and employer relationships.
​
Participants utilize an online mobile app to engage with peers, join forums to share ideas, network, and further develop their skills as employer relations representatives. They work in groups to brainstorm employer menus of services, explore service delivery options, and develop tiers of engagement. Attendees implement a final presentation and learn from their peers about how to engage and present to employers.
