Feedback from Past Transition Workshop Attendees

“I have rarely been to a workshop where every presentation has offered such timely, focused, and stimulating information. Thank you! I appreciate the community forming and legitimizing function provided by IECA and I look forward to becoming a member.”
—2007 IECA Transition Workshop Attendee


"I was most encouraged by the approach to this as a profession. My concern as a school counselor has been dealing with consultants with no credentials offering their services. Kudos to IECA!”
—2007 IECA Transition Workshop Attendee



"Thank you! Thank you! I now believe I can do this within the next few years, which is not what I thought prior to the workshop. I need to improve my business acumen, but now I know I have many to learn from."

Transitioning to Private Practice College Consulting

Wednesday, September 23, 2009
Baltimore, Maryland
8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.

IECA has designed this full-day training program specifically for school-based college counselors and college admission representatives exploring a transition to private practice. It is not designed for those who have already established a private practice. The program will explore topics such as how to set up a small home- or office-based business, how ethics and credibility issues impact those working independently, and how to write a personal "Transition Plan" to guide you through the process. The training program will take place one day prior to the NACAC conference in Baltimore.

This workshop is open to all admissions and counseling professionals and prospective consultants; membership in IECA or NACAC is not required, nor do you need to be registered for the NACAC Conference to attend.

If you would like the 2009 Transitioning workshop information mailed to you, please send an e-mail to info@IECAonline.com
