Virtual Career Fair during Pastoral Care Week
On October 25th and 26th, the NACC will be hosting a free virtual career fair for individuals who are interested in exploring the world of chaplaincy. Participants will hear from NACC members who work in a variety of settings (including healthcare facilities, hospice care centers, police/fire stations and more) to help individuals discern their vocational call. This event is one of many ways the NACC is reigniting its relationship with its Education Collaborators. The Virtual Career Fair is being marketed specifically to the students of these collaborators to bring a greater awareness to chaplaincy and to help them discern their vocational call.
