Career Skills Infused into Core Courses Benefit Students
Faculty at two WSU campuses are deliberately and uniquely going beyond the norm to prepare students to be career ready. Fifty-one WSU Pullman and WSU Vancouver general education professors from 23 disciplines—fellows who have completed the Core to Career Program—embed career-oriented skill-building into their assignments. Over the past three years at Pullman alone, nearly 9,000 students who took courses from one or more fellows were made aware early in their academic journey that they are developing skills they could pitch to a hiring manager—ones that go beyond knowledge in their major.
