Faculty Alliance for Career Readiness, Navigation, & Mobility
The faculty practice adoption and implementation layer for workforce-connected learning to drive student mobility.
Redefining what it means to be faculty in higher education
THE PROBLEM
Only 15% of students feel they can create career opportunities for themselves...
Students increasingly expect ROI and post-grad success...
Career readiness content isn't embedded in core curriculum
Career services are disjointed and applied on case-by-case basis
...and most faculty aren't prepared to teach career skills in core curriculum
<9% of Centers for Teaching & Learning believe they are adequately staffed
Faculty lack confidence teaching outside their area of expertise
Institutions struggle to scale career readiness and student outcomes
Our vision
95% of students feel they can create career opportunities for themselves. We’ll achieve this by building the national recognition and adoption layer for career-connected teaching.
THE SOLUTION
The Faculty Alliance is a national recognition, activation, and adoption network
Recognition & Signaling
In partnership with AAC&U, we are establishing recognition for faculty, departments, and colleges embracing career-connected best practices
Practice Adoption & Peer Learning
Recognized faculty will thoughtfully influence peers to adopt lightweight, high-impact career-connected teaching best practices.
Standards Setting
In partnership with AAC&U, we’ll create standards at the individual, department, and college, and university levels.
