ACCOUNTABILITY

practical, like requiring each apply to a specific number of relevant jobs,
attend specific events, and network outside of the program.
Ensure your students success by being pragmatic and conventional; accept this won’t be enough.

Strategically incorporate campus and workplace tours that don’t detract
and, instead, compliment student’s stage of learning

networking events or workshops should be provided regularly.
Connect students with organizations, teams, and professional communities.
