Strengthening Your Talent Pipeline from Within

This EAB expert-facilitated partner intensive focuses on the financial, organizational, and strategic benefits of investing in internal career advancement.

In today’s competitive labor market, many institutions struggle to find high-quality external candidates but overlook opportunities to tap internal candidates. Investing in internal staff career development and advancement can bolster short- and long-term recruitment and retention efforts. In fact, current higher ed employees are less satisfied with their future career opportunities than pay, yet few universities prioritize career initiatives for internal staff.
