Key Takeaways
- The Career Readiness Initiative from NACE pulls together sample syllabi, assessments, and research, largely from a college setting, to illustrate how instructors are designing courses around seven career-readiness competencies.
In 2014, the NACE Career Readiness Committee determined the seven competency areas by conducting a survey of more than 600 employers who use university hiring partnerships. They gathered materials on how these competencies were being used in courses and programming from the college and university partners, and organized those materials on the NACE website.
