Did you know that Career Services has created an entire Canvas course with plug and play modules, complete with assignments, discussion board questions and video instruction that’s designed to help your students navigate their early career journey? The best part? You can import it into your classroom.
Career content in your classroom matters
According to the 2021 CU Boulder Senior Exit Survey, 76% of students will begin their career journey immediately after graduation. 48% plan to begin working and 27% will seek employment. Within this same cohort of students, 58% indicated they felt prepared for graduate/professional school and 44% felt prepared for post-graduate employment. This data highlights an opportunity to actively support the career development of your students this year and may help them feel more prepared for life after their time at CU Boulder.

Career Services wants to save you time and energy when creating fall course material. Together, we can help your students prepare for their next step after college. The Career Readiness Canvas course provides foundational information that students need as they consider what job or career to pursue, how to build experiences and skills during their time at CU Boulder and how to successfully job search. A career advisor can facilitate in-class activities to augment student learning, boost their confidence and offer an in-class professional to field related questions that you may not feel comfortable answering.
We all want our students to participate in their chosen field, and we can work together to help them start preparing for that transition now. Engaging in career conversations before a student graduates is key to being successful when it comes to their post-graduation plans. Students who are exposed to the world of work, educated in industry knowledge, and prepared to apply to jobs, are much more confident and effective during their time as a student and in their steps after college, regardless of their plans.
