Professional Development
Conferences, lectures, and similar workshops emphasize current nutrition, health, and food-security research and issues for professionals
The Nutrition and Health Program provides professional development opportunities that extend the research of Cornell University to program participants, program partners, educators, volunteers and interns, and professionals in nutrition, health and food security.
Professional development opportunities include:
- Workforce-development training for graduates participating in CUCE-NYC Nutrition and Health community-education programs (ex. FMNP and Project Bridge graduates trained in advanced nutrition and health topics, creating effective résumés and cover letters, interviewing for success, and goal-setting.)
- Train-the-trainer facilitation skills training (based on nutrition, health and food-security subject matter) for educators, program partners, volunteers and interns, and other professionals
- Internships and volunteer experience in community nutrition (4-12 weeks in duration) - e.g. Hunter College and Teacher's College Columbia University Dietetic Interns fulfill their ADA-approved community rotation
- Conferences, lectures, and similar workshops emphasizing current nutrition, health, and food-security research and issues for professionals.
