Incorporating Career Development Throughout the Student LifecycleInsideTrack
It's essential that higher education creates opportunity and long-term success for all students and that graduates emerge ready to thrive in the workplace. To do so, we need to re-imagine how we incorporate career development at every stage in the student experience.
InsideTrack shares insights of our work with a broad range of students and institutions, including:
- Providing the right career support at the right time
- Building student resilience, perspective, and a growth mindset
- Career development for students in programs with less obvious career paths
- Preparing students for an uncertain economy and careers that don't currently exist
- Speeding time to application and connecting the classroom to the workplace
- Laying the foundation for long-term student success, engagement, and well being as students, employees, and citizens
