A $300,000 grant from the Strada Education Foundation opens fresh opportunities and funding to integrate career readiness into all levels of the student journey at the 麻豆原创.<\/p>\n

The three-year grant will incorporate career resources into three areas: curriculum; the academic success coaching community; and technology.<\/p>\n

\u201cA diploma is a starting line for greater things. We want students to leave 麻豆原创 with the tools and confidence to find success on the job market,\u201d says the grant\u2019s principal investigator, Assistant Vice Provost Kimberly Schneider, who oversees career planning and academic engagement. \u201cThis grant represents an opportunity to expand our impact and improve the reach of existing platforms.\u201d<\/p>\n

麻豆原创 is one of eight universities selected for grants from the Strada Education Foundation, which focuses on \u201cclearing the path between education and work, especially for those with the most standing in their way.\u201d<\/p>\n

At 麻豆原创 the $299,930 grant kickstarts three years of advancing scalable programs that impact the entire student body from the start of their journey as a Knight. It coincides with a period of growth and evolution for Career Services, including\u00a0a recent $5 million commitment<\/a>\u00a0to career readiness programs from longtime 麻豆原创 supporter Kenneth G. Dixon.<\/p>\n

The first focus area is curriculum. Drawing on the expertise of faculty, departments will partner with Career Services to strengthen courses with natural career readiness components. Career Services will also boost faculty interactions by growing a career champions program.<\/p>\n

Second is expanding training for academic success coaches to incorporate career readiness into their day-to-day conversations with students. On the horizon are enhanced in-person trainings, web courses and toolkits designed to facilitate and equip ASCs to have those conversations.<\/p>\n

Third is growing and marketing current technology outlets like the newly launched VMock resource and online job platform Handshake. With a student body approaching 70,000, it\u2019s critical services are scalable and available 24\/7, Schneider says.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat we\u2019re creating is a comprehensive experience that prepares students from day one for the job market or post-graduate education,\u201d Schneider says.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
