2023-2024 Panel Series: "I want to be a professional Arrow when I grow up”: Pathways and opportunities for a new workforce’.


September 12th will kick off our webinar series for the upcoming academic year, “I want to be a professional Arrow when I grow up:” Pathways and opportunities for a new workforce. The INTEREACH community of practice was formed in 2015 around the dual mission of developing the profession and providing professional development for those wanting to make a career out of integrative, connective work. A good deal has changed since then, and this series will allow us to explore the trajectory of this field together. Each month, we will examine the currently available opportunities for education, training, and employment for those who want to be professional Arrows, and we will hear from some of the individuals that have created or participated in those opportunities.
