Develop Leadership Skills

Leadership Opportunities: One major trait that employers look for in a job applicant is whether they have "leadership skills." Whether you're a vocal, visible leader or a behind-the-scenes leader, employers want to see that you can take the initiative to get the job done.

Check out these opportunities:

Recognized Student Organizations: A great way to be active at CCD and gain leadership experience is to join a student club, or start one yourself. There are many kinds of clubs to join, including cultural clubs, recreation opportunities, academic organizations, and Student Government. Contact the Student Life Office for more information at 303-352-2597 or visit Tivoli Rm. 309.

Student Government Assocation (SGA):  Each year, the CCD student body elects a Student Goverment, including a President, Vice-President, state-wide representatives, and Auraria campus representatives. SGA also does student programming, plans a variety of student inititatives, and needs CCD students to serve on a variety of committees. To become active in SGA, visit their office in Tivoli Rm. 301 or call 303-556-2532.
