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 weren't trained 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 anational recognition, activation, and adoption network
