It’s always great going back to campus! Last week I spoke on a panel to Saint Louis University students in the Micah Program Service Learning Community about career readiness and the importance of having professionals who are civically engaged. The students had a lot of great questions about how their community service today will help them in their careers and beyond. I can’t wait to see how high these Micahs soar. #SLU #Billikens #CareerPanel #NextGeneration

Can I get a hallelujah and amen?! Intentional career exploration and coaching has to start early. Elementary school isn’t too soon, but if Tennessee could fund career counselors beginning in middle school, the impact would be tremendous. This article is correct, classroom teachers can’t do it all and staying current on BLS data isn’t realistic. But having sufficient career counselors in each school to meet with students 2-3 times a semester, who are up to date on the latest workforce trends, college and post high school education and can build intentional relationships with local chambers of commerce and employers, could make a huge difference in student outcomes and, in turn, workforce outcomes. And no one has to reinvent the wheel. Programs like YouScience and Junior Achievement USA have curriculum and resources to get the ball rolling for schools. #careerexploration #careercoaching #servestudents
