From classroom to career
While the skills developed through a liberal arts and sciences education are the foundation of career success, students often have trouble connecting what they learn in the classroom to their career pursuits.
The Career Connections Fellowship, a 6-week workshop series, addresses this issue in alignment with IUB 2030 by providing faculty with the time, space, and resources to become advocates for the value of liberal arts and sciences education.
In an interdisciplinary cohort setting, Fellows integrate career competencies into a course they already teach or would like to teach, paying special attention to elevating students’ awareness of how the value of their degree reaches beyond strictly academic settings. The Walter Center for Career Achievement is excited to support past, present, and future Faculty Fellows as a pedagogical community invested in students’ career readiness.
