As a dedicated professional in Career Services, I'm thrilled to see the latest findings from the National Association for Colleges and Employers underscore the invaluable role of faculty in guiding students toward successful career paths. This study reaffirms what we've long known: that faculty members serve as crucial allies in our collective mission to support students' career development. The statistics are telling: with 92% of faculty being approached for career advice by students within their discipline, it's clear that our educators play a pivotal role beyond the classroom. Moreover, the significant outreach from alumni seeking career assistance further emphasizes the enduring impact of faculty-student relationships. One key takeaway that resonates deeply with me is the importance of collaboration across campus sectors. While Career Services plays a vital role, true success in equipping students with the skills and confidence to thrive post-graduation requires a holistic approach. By partnering with faculty, we can ensure that career readiness is seamlessly integrated into the academic experience, empowering students at every stage of their journey.

7moTotally agree. It is heartening to see more and more faculty involved in helping students plan for their futures and capitalize on their education. There is no holistic approach without a scaffolded, integrated collaboration model.
