How to Make Career Everywhere a Reality on Campus (feat. Nancy Bilmes, Christian Garcia, and Mike Summers)
Manage episode 432813204 series 3428568
In this episode, Nancy Bilmes of UConn, Christian Garcia of the University of Miami, and Mike Summers of Lafayette College each share how they’re making Career Everywhere a reality on their campuses.
The University of Connecticut has built one of the most robust and successful Career Champion programs in the country, with over 1,000 faculty, staff, alumni, and employer participants who have been learning about current career-related trends, resources, and language to have more confident and meaningful career conversations with students.
The University of Miami has found creative ways to engage faculty and staff (including a faculty toolkit, a dedicated webpage, and an annual awards ceremony) and embedded live RSS job feeds into every academic department website.
Lafayette College holds networking opportunities and programming that focus on helping students build social capital, aligns all career counselors to majors and liaises with faculty to create partnerships, uses their website to make career resources available 24/7, and more.
