City High senior Rolanda Lee wanted to learn how to get a job, dress for work, and make a rsum…
"I have landed in Massachusetts and after a lot of searching, interviewing and networking, I landed at MRI. Ive been here for about six months now and I can tell you, much of what CLA prepared and forewarned was spot on. I have certainly taken away a lot of the information in the program and put it to good use here. Ive found the lessons in CLA to be effective and too numerous to mention individually."(James)
CLA Living-Learning Community Events- various events where you can interact with and imart your academic, professional, and career expertise to our freshman CLA students living together in the residence halls
What will I learn?
LLCs are small groups of students who share common interests that live on the same residence floor or floor(s). This particular community focuses on leadership and career development for first-year students.
We asked employers what they want from you –their future employee- and they have spoken! They need you to have great communication skills, interpersonal skills, leadership skills, and the ability to work well with others. The purpose of the Career Leadership Academy is to provide knowledge and experiences that explore these skills and their relationship to your own career path.
Why not start your college experience of right with a balance of academic success, great leadership experiences, civic engagement, and memorable social opportunities. Join the Leadership Living-Learning Community, coordinated and sponsored by the Career Leadership Academy.
"CLA is the most beneficial organization on campus. CLA allows you to develop the skills that employers crave. Living in the community has given me a group of people that I can do anything with. This community is all about giving back to make a difference. You only get 4 years at The University of Iowa so why not do something that people will remember? Living in the LLC is a great way to start your legacy of leadership."

We asked employers what they want from todays students - their future employees - and they have spoken! Employers say they need students to have great communication skills, integrity, a strong work ethic, flexibility, interpersonal skills, leadership skills, and the ability to work well with others. They want them to be motivated, detail oriented, and organized; all while demonstrating a strong work ethic. They want leaders who are ready to work! (NACE Research: Job Outlook 2010)

For some, college can seem a little overwhelming. The Leadership Living-Learning Community helps to eliminate that feeling. The knowledge and skills you’ll learn in our program will help you succeed in college and prepare you for life after graduation. Take a look at what some of our current students have to say about the Leadership LLC:
"During school, CLA was something that helped me revise my resume The program taught me skills that have become exceedingly more relevant in my current job...I would be completely lost and unable to do my job if it wasnt for the skills I learned in CLA... I took the program for granted while enrolled at Iowa, but it is one of the greatest assets I personally gained during my time there."(Jess, Recent UI and CLA Graduate)
