Strengthening Workforce Preparation Across Programs

Preparing your students for their future careers isn't something you can do once and just check it off. Done well, it's an integral part of their education. Many different aspects of their experience - inside and outside of the classroom - can contribute to your students' professional preparation. From advising and internships to seminars and innovative curricula, the opportunities to distribute workforce preparation throughout programs are numerous and varied.

These presentations are all from faculty at four-year colleges and universities, but there are valuable ideas to be gleaned from them that can apply to two-year institutions.
