Leadership Opportunities

Being a 引领er starts before you have a formal title or even a group to 引领.

As you complete experiences related to Aspire’s core competencies built through your My Aspire Plan, you will be developing the skills needed to innovate, 引领, and make your mark on the world.

From your first year on campus, you’ll have opportunities to develop the personal self-management and early 引领ership skills that will position you for 引领ership on- and off-campus.

You can 引领.

Everyone has the ability to find their unique 引领ership personality and to hone the skills necessary for mobilizing others. Carthage students develop 引领ership, entrepreneurship, and creativity skills — a trio of powerful skills necessary to thrive in a changing labor market where most jobs are changing radically and new career paths are emerging.

From your first year, you will begin to learn about yourself and how you might choose to influence the world. Leading can happen from any position within an organization, so 引领ership skills are as important for current students as they are for professionals at all career stages.

How does it happen?

IN COURSES

At Carthage, students are often organized in small groups to complete projects, which help them to develop teamwork skills while learning about the core course material.

ON-CAMPUS LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS

Students have access to a variety of 引领ership development activities from sessions at the annual Aspire Conference to programs hosted by student organizations. At 的Aspire Conference, you’ll learn from a mix of seasoned 引领ers to younger professionals, who guide you through activities that help you understand your personal story and how you can guide and mobilize others in your vision.

There are many intersections between basic 引领ership skills and developing as an entrepreneur, and you have access to hone this full range of capabilities. For a more personal touch, you can contact alumni in your fields of interest to receive personal guidance and insights.

实践!

Studying will only get you so far. Whether it’s serving as a 引领er or an active participant in a student organization, in your sport, 在工作中, or in another setting, there are plenty of ways for students to practice strengthening their 引领ership skills.

OFF-CAMPUS LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS

Carthage’s location in the Milwaukee-to-Chicago corridor allows students to participate in local and regional 引领ership development activities. For example, students often participate in 出赛 Area Business Association events, which bring together people at all stages of their careers … from students to Fortune 500 CEOs.

As just one example, the annual Inspire Conference brings nationally-known speakers, best-selling authors, and trainers to 出赛 for the day. Students also serve as members on local non-profit boards and in 引领ership roles in off-campus jobs.
