Champlain College is designed to get our students READY. 90% percent of our on-campus graduates have a successful career outcome within 6 months of graduation. 86% percent of graduates work in jobs related to their majors. We turn our curriculum upside-down, which means students take courses in a career-focused major the moment they step on campus. This allows them to get a meaningful internship as early as their first year and multiple internships over a college career. It can take over a decade for college graduates to recover from being underemployed in their first job. Champlain College proves that we can design colleges and universities to be engines of opportunity, where students successfully launch their lives.

I’m so happy that this program exists and many congrats to the recipients. Providing funding for grad students who have found non-paid internships is a great first step to facing the reality of the lack of tenure-track (TT) positions and simply preferring an industry career. However, I’ll always take it one step further. Humanities/social sciences grad students receive among, if not, the lowest PhD stipends at Carolina. Since I’m not in the academic job market, I’m unfamiliar with the available number of TT social science professorships but my hypothesis is they are also low. My question is, how is the UNC Graduate School preparing humanities/social science grad students to find PAID internships? As a Carolina grad student, I took it upon myself to find my internship and create my own path. How can University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill continue to do more and do better for its grad students to truly grow with North Carolina and the South?

The reason why faculty buy-in is so important and essential for fostering a collaborative and holistic approach to career readiness, where academic and professional development goals are aligned to support student success in the workforce. Professional career consultants undergo rigorous preparation and training to understand the complexities of career and professional development and to provide evidence-based guidance and support to individuals navigating their career paths. It is not an easy job and even harder without faculty support! #career #careerreadiness #careereducation #professional #studentsuccess #studentsfirst

🌟 According to a recent National Association of Colleges and Employers survey, 57% of student respondents said they used faculty as a job-search resource. Career centers can equip faculty with the information they need to better guide students in their career exploration and search. How? 🔍Develop faculty toolkits across disciplines; provide faculty with career information, labor market insights, and data on student outcomes; help faculty align their learning outcomes with career readiness competencies. 🎓 #CareerServices #Faculty #careerreadiness #studentsuccess

LaunchGVL is a partnership of Greenville Chamber and Greenville County Schools. This work-based learning (WBL) internship program provides internship experiences for high school juniors and seniors. Hollingsworth works to increase opportunities for paid WBL experiences as a way to increase the percentage of students graduating from high school who are prepared for college or career. The goal of WBL opportunities is to cultivate the development of a skilled workforce and a responsive workforce system that meets the needs of business and industry leading to sustainable growth, economic prosperity, and global competitiveness. Students who participate in WBL experiences are more likely to gain postsecondary credentials and labor market rewards in high-demand fields than students who do not participate. LaunchGVL’s student application deadline is coming up January 19.

New in The Journal of Child Life: Child Life Internship Readiness: Perspectives of Child Life Academics Brittany Wittenberg Camp, PhD, CCLS, CFLE, Kathryn Cantrell, PhD, CCLS, Cara Sisk, PhD, CCLS Child life academics and internship coordinators and supervisors are vital stakeholders in the student-to-professional pipeline because both perform unique roles in supporting students pursuing a child life career. This is the first study on child life internship readiness from the perspectives of child life academics. The results and discussion from this survey with child life academic professionals add to the conversation about the profession’s expectations for internship readiness.
