Senior Career Specialist

A typical week mixes complex individual sessions, workshops, employer outreach, and consultation with newer staff. You'll often handle the cases newer specialists escalate — major career transitions, returning workers facing barriers, or complex assessments. Pacing follows program cycles and reporting deadlines.

The systems navigation intensifies at the senior level — your judgment is leaned on for hard cases, and your approach often shapes how the team handles them. Coordination with training providers, employers, and case management is constant. Outcomes reporting tends to consume more time than newcomers expect.

People who thrive here typically have steady warmth, curiosity about labor markets, and a coaching mindset. Patience for slow career change and reliable follow-through usually matter more than prior coaching credentials alone.
