From Career Competencies to Centre Competencies: A Faculty-Driven Approach
At this luncheon, Amy Fredricks and Career Champion faculty will facilitate a discussion entitled “From Career Competencies to Centre Competencies: A Faculty-Driven Approach.”
Description: How might Centre faculty approach career readiness concepts to develop a holistic education for students? This panel explores the benefits of a faculty-driven perspective of NACE (National Association of Colleges and Employers) competencies, focusing on the idea of adoption, translation, and collaboration in a pedagogical setting. We will discuss potential futures and pitfalls of dovetailing career competencies into existing assignments and syllabi. The concept of creating a novel set of competencies for Centre will be examined from an interdisciplinary panel. We suggest competencies can serve as a creative catalyst for instruction that can benefit professors and students alike.
