Faculty/Staff
92% of faculty report that students in their major ask them for career advice (NACE, 2024). As college faculty and staff, you play a critical role in the lives of our students. We want to help you help your students!
Teaching Career Readiness Skills
Employers are looking for both the specific skills to get a job done AND the soft skills that help their employees keep their job. They want to know candidates have the qualities of a productive employee who will fit well in their organization. In short, they are looking for team players who can solve problems, organize their work, work as a team and communicate effectively.
For students to become career-ready, soft skill development needs to be integrated throughout their LPC experience. You can integrate career readiness into your lesson plans or reinforce it in your classroom expectations. Below are links to help you incorporate soft skills into your teaching.
The Career Center offers a number of hiring and career events, as well as workshops, throughout the year.
