University of Phoenix to Host Career Networking Webinar

The webinar, scheduled for 11 a.m. MST, addresses the reality that many professionals operate in environments where traditional support systems are either under-resourced or difficult to navigate. By shifting the focus toward peer relationships, employee resource groups, and alumni networks, the session aims to demonstrate how individuals can move from professional isolation to collaborative learning.

Tondra Richardson, director of Engagement Strategy & Program Development, notes that professional growth is fundamentally fueled by intentional connections. The panel features diverse industry voices, including Jelisa Dallas of the University of Phoenix, Mari Marques-Thomas of Crum & Forster, and Evener Scott from HonorHealth. Together, they will move beyond theoretical discussions to examine specific tools like mentoring circles, leadership pathways, and peer check-ins.

Participants are expected to walk away with actionable strategies for building supportive ecosystems that function independently of formal organizational hierarchies. These approaches emphasize resource exchanges and warm introductions, providing a blueprint for individuals to cultivate growth within their own spheres of influence.
