Integrating Career Development into the Classroom: A Four-Year Career Intervention Program (Webinar)
December 8th, 2023 | 12:00 p.m. EST - 1:15 p.m. EST | $395
Explore University of Baltimore’s award-winning career development framework, connecting student learning outcomes to programs and building sustainable curriculum initiatives on a tight budget.
Why This Topic Matters
Nationally, nearly 4 in 10 graduates never visited their school’s career services office or used online career resources (Gallup, 2016). Yet, research indicates having career goals increases student success and retention. Expanding the reach of career services on campus is crucial to helping students develop these goals, complete their degrees and prepare for professional success after graduation. This program integrates career development into all four years of the student life cycle to be sure to reach students where they are with just-in-time topics.
Who Should Attend?
This program is ideal for college career services professionals interested in expanding the reach of their career services and ensuring consistent messaging across campus about the career development process.
