2020 Professional Development Program

In 2020, OPRF Chamber of Commerce and Dominican University, Brennan School of Business (DU, BSB), will partner to create the 2020 OPRF Chamber of Commerce Professional Development Program.  Together, we will develop a schedule of programs to cultivate, enhance, and expand our local business knowledge for success to our business area, and beyond. Dominican Faculty, when available, will provide speakers.

Below we have select highlights from the sessions, feel free to take a look and see what the Professional Development Program is about.

Session 2 HIGHLIGHTS - "Talent Engagement"

Amazing 1st session with Jamie Shaw, Career Development Director - Brennan School of Business - jshaw@dom.edu

An experienced higher education professional with a demonstrated history of collaborating with faculty, external partners, students, and administrators in order to produce results.  She taught the difference between internships and part-time workers. What's the going rate? What are you responsible as the employer. What on line resources are there to help you manage and provide the best experience for you and your Summer staff.
