The Employer Relations Academy (ERA) is the premier interactive training experience for career services employer relations professionals. Through a cohort model, participants learn industry best practices to develop relationships and work opportunities for job seekers. The academy is designed to provide the fundamentals and foundational framework to effectively work with employers. The curriculum offers novice and intermediate-level professionals the ability to acquire the skills, experience, and expertise necessary to design and deploy an effective employer relations menu and strategy.

​
Attendees engage in a series of online challenges, conducting real research to identify individuals and employer networks (leads) that serve as access points for developing jobs, internships, and employer relationships. Participants collaborate with peers in forums to share ideas, network, and refine their skills as employer relations representatives.

The program concludes with final presentations, where attendees implement their ideas and learn effective employer engagement and presentation strategies from their peers. Students have the opportunity to earn a badge and receive a certificate of competency.

... Career Vogue series showed me different ways of connecting with people in my community for job carving that I never would have thought of on my own. We were encouraged to build on our ideas that would support not only our learning but also the missions of our respective Career Centers toward greater student support and team cohesion. Career Vogue's work is inspiring, and I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to take the Career Vogue ERA course!
