Integrating Career Development into your Curriculum
Infusing career-related content into the classroom can help students understand how their academics apply to their future careers.
You can meet with Career Services to explore ways to integrate grade, extra credit, or professional development career-related assignments into your course. We can help you design meaningful career development assignments to embed in your curriculum
Examples:
- Resume Assignments - Add a resume assignment to your course. Options can include requiring students to get a certain score on their resume, getting a resume review from the Career Center, attending a resume lab or workshop event, creating a handshake resume submission assignment or customizing an activity that would meet the needs of your course outcomes.
- Interview Preparation - Add a Mock Interview or Elevator Assignment to your course.
- Job & Internship Search - Utilize Handshake to incorporate a job search strategies activity into your course, such as learning how to search for relevant opportunities, conducting employer research, and messaging recruiters
- Career Exploration - Infuse our Career Assessment platform PathwayU into your course. Students can assess their strengths, interests, values, and workplace preferences through the interactive platform and conduct major and career research.
- Career Fair or Event - All events are posted on Handshake. Consider incorporating an event into your curriculum, such as a Career Fair, Networking Event or Industry Session. Students can register on Handshake, and we can provide proof of attendance.
