Reviews
In today's higher education climate, it's no longer good enough for institutions to focus on learning solely for learning's sake. Students and their families expect more, and employers demand more. Having a strong career center is important, but institutions that don't want to be left behind need to make student career readiness a campus-wide priority. Readers of Mapping the Future of Undergraduate Career Education will find new strategies for placing a deliberate, impactful focus on ensuring that students can connect what they are learning in college to their first job and their long-term career. -- Paul Timmins, Executive Director, University of Oregon Career Center, Former President, National Career Development Association, USA This text is timely and provocative: a much-needed resource for institutions that strive to be student ready and forward thinking in their approach to undergraduate career preparation. -- La'Tonya Rease Miles, Ph.D., Partner and Director of Scale and Support, Career Launch Co-editor, Campus Service Workers Supporting First-Generation Students (Routledge, 2021)
