THEOLOGY CAREERS INITIATIVE Where Theological Vocation Meets the Job Market

Providing career guidance to ministers, bi-vocational pastors and MDiv. graduates venturing into nontraditional fields, has been Packard’s focus throughout his many years of practice. Principal and owner of Theology Careers Initiative, he provides theology professionals with direction and support as they pursue their vocations in traditional ministry, tent-making endeavors or other nontraditional fields. He’s a proven Career Management Consultant, author and professional speaker who has published articles about his work in such national publications as InTrust Magazine and the Association of Theological Schools Online Colloquy publication. He has also presented (by invitation) at the national conference for (Theological) Student Personnel Administrators. Having spent more than 20 years in the corporate realm as a Vice President for Organization Development, the Career Management industry as a Senior Career Consultant, and as Director of Career Services for a prominent seminary, he knows first-hand the strategies and tactics it takes for a theology professional to navigate a vocational transition successfully. In a former career consulting firm, led the company each year in the number of clients securing jobs by an average of 250%!
He has taught career management principles to pastors and theological students at the Iliff School of Theology, Denver Seminary, Denver Presbytery (PCUSA), Whitworth University, Denver Center for Work and Spirituality, along with such secular venues as Kellogg’s, Hewlett Packard, Schlumberger, Lockheed-Martin, Daniels College of Business, Colorado Human Resource Association, and the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment.
