Career Readiness Certificate
Program description
The career readiness certificate is earned by students who intentionally and intensively engage in the career development process during their undergraduate program. The certificate program challenges students to think about the totality of their liberal arts degree and the acquisition of the core career competencies. The curriculum is designed to support students from the exploration stage of the career management process and prepares them to compete for significant experiences, and ultimately reinforces the necessary reflection required to articulate their proficiency in the core career competencies.
The certificate will signal to potential employers and graduate programs that students have demonstrated the ability to describe their unique academic path in the College of Liberal Arts, what they've learned in the process, and how that relates to their readiness. It encourages the integration of academics and co-curricular experiences through the common language of core career competencies and connects the academic experience to their professional life.
The certificate is open to all CLA undergraduate students.
