Webinar Description: As artificial intelligence tools become increasingly integrated into the job search process—from resume writing and personal branding to interview preparation—career counselors and coaches must be equipped to guide students and clients in using these technologies responsibly and strategically. This program offers career development professionals in higher education and private practice the knowledge and tools to navigate the evolving AI landscape.
Participants will explore practical applications of AI in career services, examine the ethical considerations around bias, data privacy, and authenticity, and learn how to empower clients to leverage AI tools while maintaining personal agency and integrity. Through real-world examples and hands-on demonstrations, attendees will leave with actionable strategies to enhance their practice and support informed, ethical AI use in career development.
You will also receive a list of AI resources and NCDA’s new AI Ethics Framework.
