Maximizing the Middle Years: Exploring Career Programming for Second- and Third-Year Students

NACE Admin — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 15:03:27 GMT

Many institutions have initiatives focusing on first-year and senior-year experiences, but little for students in their second and third years. The University of Connecticut developed Explore, a four-semester, intensive career development program for these students as they choose a major or career path. The program takes students through the entire career development process, from making major/career decisions to networking and job searching to transitioning from student to professional. Through one-on-one personalized career coaching and group workshops, Explore helps students learn to make decisions and develop the skills necessary to obtain an internship by the end of their third year. Get an overview of the issues impacting second- and third-year students and the Explore program, including development, target audience, curriculum, employer participation, assessment, and outcomes.
