How to Combine Careers and Learning to Deliver Member Value

Looking for a way to deliver greater member value? Here’s how to offer job openings and learning courses in one online view to easily boost your association member benefits.

 

It might not surprise you to hear that association members are interested in ways to further their careers. Association industry trends research by Community Brands shows that job opportunities and credentials are among the top benefits that members seek. 

Just imagine if you you could easily provide your members with both: By offering your members job openings from your industry and continuing education courses in one online view, you could easily give your members the value they seek. It would also give you an opportunity to increase revenue for your association by attracting more members and learners.  

The good news: There’s no need to simply dream about this approach. Let’s take a closer look at how your association can make it a reality.
