| Abstract | Colleges and universities are recognizing the need to reimagine their approach to career services support. The old career services model is a reactive one, with career centers that students can seek out if they want to and with services typically including assistance with job searches, resume review, and interview preparation. Today, students face a challenging labor market: new occupations are appearing that did not exist five years ago, other job categories are disappearing, and college graduates require strategies to communicate their skills and competencies to prospective employers. In addition, relevant, intentional, and accessible career services and programs are important for assisting students with career exploration and preparing them for their postgraduation employment. This report explores how colleges and universities are redesigning services to help students with career exploration and preparation. The approaches they are using fall within six overarching themes: (1) Creating a career services culture to support early, proactive, and continuous student engagement in career exploration and preparation; (2) Incorporating data-driven career exploration; (3) Building career activities into the curriculum; (4) Leveraging strong employer partnerships; (5) Focusing on building "soft," transferable skills and career search skills; and (6) Enhancing technology-driven career services tools. These emerging practices benefit the adult learner by removing barriers to engagement with and access to ongoing career services and support and by taking into account their unique needs and previous work experience. As the labor market continues to evolve, it will become even more important for institutions to invest in new approaches to career services that facilitate the transition from learning to work.
