Abstract
In winter 2023, University Studies formed a working group to develop and pilot embedded career readiness within first year general education courses. The working group collaborated to create and pilot the curriculum in spring 2023. After the pilot, the working group collected and analyzed student, faculty, and mentor observations and course evaluation data, identified key themes, made recommendations, and created an online repository and website interface for career readiness curriculum and resources.
The working group and pilot participants successfully developed curriculum and piloted it in their courses, gained feedback and insight from students, mentors, and faculty, and created resources for career readiness curriculum. This curriculum and the experience of implementing it provide the groundwork for moving forward with development of career readiness curriculum in first year general education courses and additional levels of general education.
