Career Ready Tools for the Classroom
Eight out of 10 college students say they prefer to get career advice from their faculty and instructors.

Attend this session to learn about resume, interviewing, and other career readiness tools you can use in the classroom and/or students can access at any time.
Connecting Careers and the Classroom
Studies have shown the primary motivator for students is preparation for the workforce. Join COD’s Career Services Center for a discussion on how skills you are teaching relate to jobs our students want. After this session, you will be able to connect learning outcomes to career readiness based on competencies identified by National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE).
Engaging Careers in the Classroom
