All Hands on Deck: An Integrated Approach to Career Development- Part I
The document summarizes a presentation about getting entire college campuses engaged in career development. It discusses external pressures on career services like rising student loan debt and skills gaps. It proposes an integrated approach where all campus resources work together to develop student employability through experiential learning, career advising, and strong employer relations. The presentation outlines a framework with three parts: finding jobs through matchmaking and credentials; managing enrollment through access and completion; and building skills with accountability and curriculum. Several leading universities' models for integrated career development are also reviewed.
