Abstract:听The mission of Career and Professional Success is to imbue career preparedness across the entire 91制片厂 community to equip our students with the experiences, knowledge, and skills to thrive in an ever-changing future.听We cannot be successful in achieving our mission without faculty partnerships.

In this workshop we will explore how to build an innovative CaPS and faculty partnership model. We will discuss the classroom experience and the critical role it plays in preparing students with the career skills and personal characteristics required for success in both searching for jobs and in the workforce.听The session will examine opportunities to integrate career preparation activities alongside and in support of the traditional components of a classic liberal education.听This approach helps to prepare students to apply knowledge to real-world settings and illustrates how skills learned in the classroom 鈥 persistence, self-direction, risk-taking, tolerance of ambiguity, critical thinking, listening, and more 鈥 inspire students to be lifelong learners pursuing successful careers.听

Attendees will hear an update on the Career and Professional Success initiative and will have the opportunity to听provide suggestions to CaPS staff about successful faculty partnership models.
