Career Guidance and Readiness Concentration

Be prepared to give your students the career guidance they need and expect.

More than ever, students want to realize a return on their educational investment.

Understanding their opportunities in the job market and establishing career readiness is important to students, and they trust their professors and instructors to guide them.

Two Career Guidance and Readiness Concentration modules.

Developed with support from Strada Education Network and in collaboration with the Council of Independent Colleges.

Perfect to add into ACUE’s certification and microcredential courses.

“It is by far the best teaching practices course that I have ever taken, without a doubt. The modules from day one were informative, interesting and innovative. I truly loved the whole format.”
