Ready-to-Use Career Readiness Assignments
Ready-to-Use Career Readiness Assignments
Integrating career readiness into your course, club, or student group doesn't have to require creating new materials. The assignments below are designed to help students develop career readiness skills while connecting them with Employer Engagement & Career Services (EECS).
Each assignment can be copied directly into D2L or modified to fit your course.
A personal recommendation matters. Students are much more likely to use career services when a trusted faculty or staff member encourages them to do so. Please refer students to EECS events and resources early and often throughout their time at Pima.
