LevelUP Your Course: Enhancing Curriculum-Based Career Readiness 

Faculty are invited to join this mini-course presented as part of our LevelUP Quality Enhancement Plan in collaboration with the Innovation in Learning Center and Career Development. Together, we'll explore these questions as we seek to better prepare our students for their next steps: 

  • What can we do in our classrooms to support students in articulating the value of our courses?
  • How can we make our activities relevant and meaningful for students?

The LevelUP Your Course: Enhancing Curriculum-Based Career Readiness mini-course leads faculty to design career-focused activities that are discipline-specific and aligned with selected competencies and employer-valued skills. We will explore the importance of incorporating NACE competencies and the AAC&U employer-valued skills into existing curricula. Upon completion of the mini-course, you will have access to ready-made career resources that can be directly implemented in your courses.

Participants can expect to:

Attend three in-person meetings:
       Friday, May 16 | 10:30am - 1:30pm, with lunch! 
       Monday, May 19 | 9:30am - 11:30am
       Wednesday, May 21 | 9:30am - 11:30am

Spend 2-4 hours engaging with online activities.

Leave the mini-course with practical ideas for integrating employer-valued skills into your existing course(s).

Complete this form to indicate your interest in participating.
