Faculty and staff can play an important role in helping students figure out what to do after college. Having career conversations with students is key to helping them prepare for the world of work, and a great place to start these conversations is in classrooms. Students that are exposed to the world of work, educated in industry knowledge and prepared to apply to jobs are more confident and effective in their steps after college, regardless of their chosen industry.Ìý
