Full Abstract
While many students identify career-related motivations as the primary reason for pursuing a college degree, only a small percentage of students actually believe that they will graduate with the skills necessary to be successful in the job market. Furthermore, access to career-related opportunities often depends on factors such as academic major, socioeconomic status, social capital, race, gender, etc. Aligning career readiness competencies to open practices provides a scalable model of dynamic opportunities accessible to all students. This session will explore innovative and scalable solutions to integrate career readiness competencies into open practices to achieve equity and access to meaningful career-related experiences for all students. Participants will explore ways to integrate career readiness into open practices and define and assess learning outcomes.
