| Abstract: |
This paper analyses three key components of a career development curriculum for business majors that has generated superior results, supporting undergraduates’ transition from higher education to professional employment while teaching students career advancement skills that will be used throughout their lives. Students have expressed strong satisfaction with opportunities for coaching and mentoring, coursework facilitating experiential learning, and mandatory internships in their major. Analyses of qualitative data drawn from student assignments and course evaluations suggest these three elements of the program have positively impacted students’ career-readiness, career aspirations and career achievements. Quantitative data shows increased student success in achieving their career goals. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
