Career Continuum Program

GBA recognizes the career of a geoprofessional includes several stages of experience and knowledge. Each career stage requires support at different levels for professional development to accelerate competencies of consultants. In support of this lifelong journey, GBA is excited to launch the Career Continuum Program to address all stages of a geoprofessionals career.

Early Professional Class:

Based on input from our members, GBA will launch the Career Continuum with an Early Professional Class.

The Early Professional Class 1 includes 24 representatives of GBA member firms that have less than four years of geoprofessional experience but have high potential as consultants and business leaders within your firms. If you are looking to accelerate the growth and unleash the potential of your future leaders and your firm, GBA can help by:

• Building your Early Professional’s business acumen by providing introductions to key consulting fundamentals.
• Optimizing your future leader’s business performance through interaction and training with other top-notch professionals.
• Exposing your Early Professionals to the wide array of GBA benefits and resources.
• Providing a time- and cost-efficient approach with 10 live virtual sessions moderated by an experienced GBA speaker and facilitated by an expert adult education instructor.

Your key people will not want to miss out on this opportunity!

The Early Professional Class is the first “deliverable” of the Career Continuum series. The course will consist of a 10-part virtual training class. Class sessions will be live, virtual events occurring bi-weekly on important business and consulting-related topics.
Classes will be taught predominantly using existing and updated GBA reference materials and will be led by experienced experts from GBA member firms and facilitated by an expert in adult education. Classes for this course are not meant to be exhaustive on a particular topic, but a good introduction to the content. The classes are also intended to help these Early Professionals develop a network of other professionals across North America in a similar career stage. Some pre-work for each class will likely be required as well. Upon successful completion of the class, each participant will receive a Certificate of Completion to acknowledge and document their achievement.
