Survey on University Clerical Workers’ Career Experiences and Aspirations
The University of Hawaiʻi Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) held a strategic planning meeting on October 21, 2013 at Kapiʻolani Community College. The primary purpose of this meeting was to prioritize the participants’ feedback obtained from the focus group sessions at the CSW conference, Healthy Living – Mind, Body and Career, held on September 27, 2013, at the UH Mānoa Campus Center.
Priority areas identified by the Commissioners:
- professional development/career advancement
- providing information and awareness for elder care and
- platform for small groups and networking.
Based on the comments that were received from the 2013 CSW conference, the Professional Development/Career Advancement Committee agreed to focus on UH clerical workers. This population indicated that the opportunities for professional development and career advancement were limited. The committee members decided to explore this further and created an on-line survey.
