What does Career Everywhere mean?

Career Everywhere is about embedding career in classrooms, across campus, and beyond so more students have access to the resources they need to build meaningful careers.

The movement is based on the following three tenets:

Engaging students with career resources before, during, and after college

Providing truly equitable access to all students, 24/7/365

Shifting the role of career services from provider to facilitator

Why is Career Everywhere important?

One of the major reasons students go to college is to find a great job after graduation. But not every student can visit a physical career center on campus. And it’s impossible for career services staff to meet 1:1 with thousands of students every year.

That’s why Career Everywhere is so important.

Career Everywhere is about making career resources more accessible and equitable for all students, regardless of their backgrounds or circumstances. It’s about building a campus culture of career readiness—where anyone who works with students is enabled to have a meaningful career conversation with them.

That’s how we develop the next generation of prepared, diverse leaders. That’s how we ensure the future success of society.

To do this, career services teams must shift their role from providers to facilitators.

The Career Everywhere initiative couldn’t possibly be any more timely or critically important.

Helping to ensure the career success of learners requires an ecosystem of innovative thinking, best practice sharing, and effective collaborations not only within, but across, institutions and programs. The Career Everywhere initiative is poised to do just that and I am delighted to be a part of it.
