Many organizations have made a commitment to supporting students through college and into careers but are struggling with decisions as they build or refine their career development program. This interactive workshop will lay out best practices for developing a comprehensive and holistic career readiness curriculum, focused on building the hard and soft skills low-income and underserved students need to succeed in college and beyond. This workshop will share best practices with organizations who wish to develop or ramp up their college and career success programming.
Guiding Questions:
1) As we develop college and career programming, what topics are essential, and what are the tradeoffs for different delivery formats – i.e. online, in-person, etc.?
2) Based on current resources and capacity, how should we engage volunteers and partners in developing programmatic content? What are the pros and cons?
3) How can we talk to corporate partners in a way that creates mutual benefit and reduces burden on staff?
