Scale Experiential Learning and Career Development
Today’s universities are under increasing public pressure to provide career preparation and support economic mobility. The good news is that most universities already provide skill-building opportunities in and outside of the classroom. Unfortunately, such high-impact practices rarely reach all students or span the entire academic lifecycle. Learn how to create more opportunities for applied learning and help students translate between an academic transcript and a career-ready resume.
Integrate academic and career advising
Career advising helps students explore careers and ultimately translate their college experiences into a resume, personal narrative, or graduate school application. This advising is most effective in helping students choose a best-fit major and career path if first-year academic and career support staff are collocated, cross-trained, or combined entirely into holistic advisor roles.
Once students settle on a path, advisors should develop specialties by field to help students navigate the unique expectations of different industries. This holistic and in-depth advising support is enhanced by dedicated self-service resources that help students reflect on their past work and bridge connections between their academic and career experiences and goals.
