Episode Description: Is college worth it? Students, employers, and the government demand a return on investment from higher education. On this episode, Steve Hassinger, Dean of Career Services at Central Penn College, and Paul Miller, Communications Professor at Central Penn College, discuss ways to incorporate career-readiness skills into the curriculum.
Our guests share how career service departments equip students with the skills and tools they need for interviews and career advancement. They also share how to develop assignments that go beyond the traditional paper to give students artifacts for their portfolios and real-world experience and explain how volunteering can set students apart when applying for jobs.
