Zoom Planning Workshop: Humanities to Careers: Pathways Planning for Students’ Advantage – Register by Jan 21

Posted by Yes We Must Coalition on January 20, 2026

The Yes We Must Coalition is offering a two-session workshop for college/university teams on Humanities to Careers: Pathways Planning for Students’ Advantage on Mondays, January 26 and February 9, 2026, from 3:00-5:00 pm Eastern.

The workshop will be led by Nancy Hoffman, Senior Advisor at Jobs for the Future, Donna Hunt, Program Coordinator of the Mandel Foundation Humanities to Career Pilot at Lorain County Community College (OH), Molly Phelps, Director of the Humanities to Career Program at Bunker Hill Community College (PA), and Nicole Evans, Mandel Grant Program Director at Northern Virginia Community College.

The Mandel Foundation-funded Humanities to Career pilot project is grounded in the belief that a humanities education is an asset in preparation for a wide variety of professional careers, but that power is only unleashed when campus leaders and faculty commit to integrating career preparation into humanities studies. This workshop explains strategies the Mandel leaders have put in place to help humanities faculty understand the labor market and prepare them to take the lead in designing microcredentials and badges that address durable or professional skills that employers seek. The workshop also addresses the wide range of work-based learning opportunities that suit humanities students.  The workshop will also explore making pathways connections for two-year Humanities/Liberal Arts graduates to four-year HLA programs.  The workshop is intended for cross-campus teams of at least 2 people.

Registration Deadline: Wednesday, January 21, 2026
