Leadership and Professional Development

Seton Hall University’s Division of Continuing Education and Professional Studies is proud to offer two new certificate-bearing programs in collaboration with Seton Hall’s Buccino Leadership Institute:

The in-person Aspiring Professional Accelerator Program will provide ambitious professionals with advanced tools and strategies needed to excel in their field, advance their career, or pivot to a new position.

This unique, power-packed, one-day program is intense, interactive and inspirational, and will help participants understand their emotional intelligence using the field’s top assessments. Participants will learn to overcome those self-imposed limitations holding them back, level up virtual and in-person networking skills and branding, and master the resume and communication skills needed to take their career to the next level. This is not a basic skills course; it is designed for ambitious professionals who want more – more confidence, more opportunities and more tools to advance their career.

The Leadership and Professional Development 101 Certificate Program provides undergraduate or graduate students with proven techniques and skills to help them not only discover the best version of themselves, but to craft the ideal future professional they aim to be.

Over the course of four content-filled, in-person, hands-on sessions, students will build confidence, recognize strengths, understand what’s been holding them back and how to overcome it, all while developing crucial professional skills – from crafting the perfect resume to perfecting networking and interviewing skills and more.

After delivering this program to over 400 undergraduate students to date, each participant not only recommended it to their peers but insisted how helpful it was to both their personal and professional development.
