As the workforce continues to evolve, professionals are rethinking how they grow, pivot, and stay competitive beyond traditional, time-intensive education pathways. In this Lunch & Learn webinar, participants will explore how stackable and micro-credentials can support intentional, sustainable career growth in a rapidly changing world. This session invites professionals to “spring clean” their careers through a reflective, capacity-aware approach that helps release outdated career narratives, clarify skill priorities, and build intentional learning pathways without burnout.
The session will be facilitated by Diamond Poyer, Program Manager in Noncredit and Continuing Education at Temple University, University College, and an Adjunct with Temple University’s Klein College of Media and Communication. Diamond brings extensive workforce development experience designing training programs, internship pipelines, and career pathways through partnerships with schools, community organizations, and employers. Drawing from both her professional leadership and lived experience navigating career disruption due to neurological health conditions, she brings a grounded, whole-person perspective to career growth—helping professionals move forward with clarity, strategy, and sustainability.
