Think back for a moment, what was your first job?
Like a lot of people, we would imagine that you potentially started somewhere very different then where you are today. Now looking ahead where do you want to go? How do you get from here to there?

Within the RETAIN Model, we focus on strategies that support the Advancement of individuals in their careers. Some of those strategies include defining career pathways, providing tools for career exploration (tools, job shadowing, career counseling), and coaching and mentoring programs (formal, informal, and reverse).
