Faculty Are a Key Source of Career Advice for Students Bethlehem, PA - With more than nine out of 10 saying students asked them for guidance in the past year, according to a new study of 6,800 college and university faculty members conducted by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) in collaboration with the American Association of Colleges and Universities (AAC&U) and the Society for Experiential Education (SEE). Results of the study are detailed in Faculty Attitudes and Behaviors: The Integration of Career Readiness Into the Curriculum. In particular, faculty reported that students typically ask them for guidance on what jobs fit with their major as well as for advice about graduate school and internships—topics that campus career centers and experiential units are typically well positioned to address. However, the study found that only 70% of faculty members report collaborating with the career center. The study found that faculty play a distinct role in helping students become “career ready,” i.e., developing and demonstrating key skills that employers look for in new hires beyond job-specific knowledge, such as communication, teamwork, and critical thinking abilities. Overall, 65% of responding faculty said their academic department had aligned broad student learning outcomes with career readiness competencies. An even larger portion—80%—said they have integrated career readiness/career information into their courses. However, just over half (55%) of faculty members said they were aware that their institution has aligned student learning outcomes with career competencies, suggesting a disconnect between faculty practice within their programs and their awareness of broader institutional efforts to address career preparedness. “Awareness is important,” says Shawn VanDerziel, NACE president and chief executive officer. “Our study found that among faculty members who are aware their institution has aligned competencies with student outcomes, nearly 80% have collaborated with the career center. Overall, the study points to the need for broad support for collaboration between faculty and campus resources as a means for increasing institutional effectiveness and student outcomes.” Underscoring that sentiment, Lynn Pasquerella, president of AAC&U, noted that, “To truly prepare students to flourish in their personal and professional lives, we need to recognize the ways in which collaboration across divisions will deepen curricular learning by leveraging the expertise of a range of campus stakeholders, including career center directors, advisors, and community engagement leaders.” Beth Odahlen, president of SEE, agrees: “The call to action is clear: Experiential learning units and career centers along with faculty have important roles in student success in terms of career outcomes.” Full Report: https://lnkd.in/gAFJ3tB4

12 Days of Professional Development Day 7 - “Enhancing the Faculty Role in Student Career Readiness” from Inside Higher Education, by Karrin E. Wilks & Neisha Ziehmke #12daysofprofessionaldevelopment Fewer than 20% of students nationally visit their career services offices… 🤯 Well, did I catch your attention? Read on for more ideas on how to equitably engage all students through faculty support! 📣 This article is one of my favorites because it aligns very well with what I am working on this year at UC Blue Ash (UCBA Career Champions). Improving student success is not possible without the highly visible and engaged faculty and leadership. We need to meet students where they are at… the classroom. Students want direct access to corporate recruiters and subject matter experts, so, as career centers, we can assist faculty members with these connections. This article focused on telling the story of the Faculty Fellowship, a program from CUNY institutions. This Faculty Fellowship works to help embed career learning into the classroom, by training faculty members in effective ways to help bring more equitable resources to all students, not just those who opt into extracurricular activities. In the Faculty Fellowship program, faculty work on a redesign of their syllabus to enhance practice-based teaching and learning, featuring real-world assignments and assessments. This allows faculty to embed professional skill building into the curriculum and thus measure these skills that students strengthen. Recently I heard a colleague state that “Optional is not Equitable” and I have continued to think about this from a professional standpoint, especially in an office that has events and services that are optional. This article challenged me to think more about how to engage within the classroom and how to help students connect with employers through their classroom experiences. ❔Questions to think about: ◼ What does it mean to have a faculty partner? ◼ What are ways that we (as career centers) can support our faculty partnerships? ◼ What are ways that we can bring more employer and community partnerships into the classroom experience? 🔗Link to the article: https://lnkd.in/gmpq2-7U

Educators need to embrace the increasingly tough questions about the value of college degrees. Why? Because they are the right questions, and also because there is good evidence that higher ed is responding, often with the help of local businesses and other partners, to better prepare graduates for good jobs. Increasingly, local communities recognize that career preparation takes collaboration: It’s unrealistic to expect schools, from K-12 through college, to supply talent for the workforce without some kind of participation from the communities and companies that stand to benefit. Taken together, the work in these communities tells a national story of progress: Colleges, companies, and communities pulling together to find what works—for everyone. You can read more about these partnerships in my latest Forbes piece, which you can find here: https://lnkd.in/gMYfmRrG

This fascinating blog post from District Administration highlighting a significant shift in the job market! According to recent research, the share of job postings requiring a college degree has decreased from 20.4% to 17.8% in the last five years. Employers are increasingly valuing skills over formal education, opening doors for those with practical expertise. This trend underscores the need for transformational change in our classrooms. As educators, it's crucial to adapt teaching methods and curriculum to align with the evolving needs of the job market. Providing students with hands-on experiences, career-focused education, and opportunities to gain valuable skills will better prepare them for the workforce of tomorrow. Let's embrace this change and work together to create a more dynamic and responsive educational system that equips students with the skills they need to be future ready! #EducationTransformation #schooldistricts ://https://lnkd.in/gC2Dar89

In today's dynamic academic landscape, students are turning to their trusted faculty members more than ever for career guidance. From exploring career paths to polishing resumes, faculty play a crucial role in shaping students' professional journeys.🎓 As a student, have you sought career advice from faculty members? Share your experiences in the comments below! #CareerAdvice #FacultySupport #ProfessionalDevelopment #HigherEducation #StudentLife
We just released an unprecedented study on faculty at colleges and universities and their involvement in career guidance. Did you know that students (and alumni) don’t just rely on the Career Center for guidance – they frequently refer to faculty? Our study revealed some interesting tidbits. For example: 92% of faculty provided career guidance to students in the past year. 52% of faculty are very comfortable advising within their discipline, while 23% are very comfortable advising any discipline. And 70% of faculty refer students to the career center. Imagine what 100% collaboration and career readiness integration between faculty and career centers could do for student career outcomes. When paired together, faculty and career centers can prepare more students for success, reach more students with career guidance, and comfortably deliver guidance across any discipline. For the first time ever, three associations collaborated on this important research endeavor of nearly 6,900 faculty to shed light on the critical role they play in guiding students towards career success. The report, which is FREE to all, unwraps many more faculty insights and underscores the benefits of faculty and career services working together. Check it out here: https://lnkd.in/eiReSFwa Special thanks to the researchers and collaborators at the National Association of Colleges and Employers, American Association of Colleges and Universities, and Society for Experiential Education. Powerful stuff. #careerguidance #careerdevelopment #faculty #highered

Why do I partner with faculty and staff? Because data like Shawn’s demonstrated that students seek career advice from faculty and staff! If I am going to “meet students where they are” then I must partner with faculty! #NSUCares #CareerReadiness
