Emerging Professionals Program

The Emerging Professionals Program is a series of seminars and experiential learning modules designed to offer students a competitive advantage through vital job and career management skills. Each session is facilitated by a professional in the field and includes an interactive component and group reflection. Students who attend any 12 seminars and submit a capstone portfolio will receive a certificate of achievement from Scripps College.

Join us for a 3-part preview this spring. Each seminar runs about 90 minutes and is held in the CP&R library unless otherwise noted. RSVP via The Gateway to reserve your spot.

EPP facilitators are professionals in their field; they are alumnae and friends of Scripps College who have volunteered to share their expertise with participants in the Emerging Professionals Program. Each seminar has been designed to run approximately 90 minutes and is held in the CP&R library on campus unless otherwise noted. Sessions will include an artifact for participants to collect and use in an EPP portfolio and capstone summary.

The general format is as follows:

  • Introductions and learning objectives
  • Definitions and application
  • Interactive component and group reflection
  • Myths and pitfalls
  • Q&A
