Course Description

Are you new to the career of fundraising and want to better understand your options for advancing in the career? Or, perhaps you’ve worked in the field for several years and want to move into other areas of fundraising and are not sure how to best proceed.

There is no “one pathway” to a career in fundraising. Although some academic programs are emerging that focus on philanthropy, there is no particular major/degree needed to pursue these types of jobs. Instead, you need to consider the range of skills and functions needed to pursue this pathway.

This online CPE webinar offers suggestions for how to advance in your career, make more money, and be happier in your work!

In this CPE/CPD course, speaker, Linda Lysakowski has discussed the following major topics:

Find ways to get the education and training you need to advance in the field.
Understand how certification can help you land a job, get paid more, and feel good about your accomplishments.
Deciding when it is time to move up, move one, or consider consulting.
Finding the professional associations and networking opportunities that can help you achieve success.
Creating your plan for success

You can also register for the following E-Book of the speaker available on myCPE:
