  • The Importance of Integrating Career Readiness into Coursework

    Did You Know?

    • 90% of Fordham students participate in at least one internship
    • Students with three or more internships are twice as likely to receive job offers compared to those with only one
    • The Career Center provides access to hundreds of job and internship opportunities to help students prepare for successful careers

    Adding Career Readiness to Your Syllabi

    At Fordham University, students not only gain course-specific knowledge but also develop essential skills that will contribute to their success after graduation. By integrating career competencies into your courses, you can help students identify the specific learning outcomes they are achieving, as well as the skills they can showcase within their field. Clearly, highlighting these skills throughout your course will support students in articulating their development to potential employers, graduate programs, and other opportunities within or beyond the university.

    More than likely, your current courses will help students develop many of these skills. If your class involves any of the below elements, there are NACE skills that will be correlated.

    Group work: Communication, Critical Thinking, Equity & Inclusion, Leadership, Professionalism, Teamwork​

    Class discussions: Communication, Critical Thinking, Equity & Inclusion​

    Presentations: Communication, Critical Thinking, Equity & Inclusion, Leadership, Professionalism, Teamwork, Career & Self Development​

    Writing Assignments: Communication, Critical Thinking, Technology (research)

    There are several ways to incorporate career competencies into your syllabi. See the examples below for possible approaches:

    Listed Within a Course Objective

    Example: Communication Course

    Objective: Analyze the role of media in shaping public perception and communication strategies in corporate and public settings.

    Career Competency: Career & Self-Development

    Example: Psychology Course

    By the end of the semester, students should be able to:

    Identify key psychological theories and understand their application to real-world settings such as therapy, education, and workplace environments.

    Career Competencies: Critical Thinking, Career & Self-Development

    Explain how human behavior and mental processes are influenced by factors such as culture, environment, and biology.

    Career Competency: Critical Thinking

    Listed Within a Project or Assignment Prompt

    Art History Course
    Objective: Analyze how race, gender, class, sexuality, region, and nation have influenced artistic movements and the creation of art throughout history.

    For this assignment, you will work in teams to develop a proposal for a virtual exhibit at a contemporary art museum on a topic of your choice. The exhibit should address a modern issue related to identity, experience, or history through the lens of art and must include at least 10 works of art or artifacts. Your proposal should follow the ethical guidelines of museum curation and representation, and students will need to seek feedback from at least three sources. Individually, you will also submit a reflection on the process of completing this project.

    General Syllabus Language

    Throughout your time at Fordham, identifying and articulating the NACE career competencies, technical skills, and transferable skills you acquire in your coursework will be crucial to your career readiness and post-graduation success. In this course, you will have opportunities to build and enhance the skills and competencies employers and graduate programs are seeking. Through assignments and discussions, students will develop the ability to identify and communicate these skills when applying for internships, jobs, leadership roles, graduate school, and more.

    Adaptive Syllabus Language

    In collaboration with Fordham's Career Center, you will be able to identify and articulate the NACE career competencies, technical skills, and transferable skills you are developing in this course. These competencies are critical for career readiness and success as a student and post-graduation. This course will offer opportunities to enhance transferable and technical skills, such as initiative and time management, alongside technical skills like Adobe Photoshop and MATLAB. Additionally, you will gain and refine career competencies, including communication and critical thinking, all of which are sought by employers and graduate programs. These skills will be cultivated through assignments and class discussions and will help students apply for leadership roles, internships, jobs, graduate school, and fellowships.

  • Faculty Guide to Ethical and Legal Standards in Student Employment

    Principals for Ethical Practices - NACE

  • Faculty are often asked to recommend students for various career opportunities by both students and employers. Use this guide to stick to ethical practices in giving referrals and writing references.

    Student Referrals: The Principles for Ethical Professional Practice are based on two basic precepts: maintaining a recruitment process that is fair and equitable and supporting informed and responsible decision-making by candidates. Avoid possible legal and ethical pitfalls by following these tips:

    • Practice reasonable, responsible, and transparent behavior
    • Act without bias
    • Ensure equitable access
    • Comply with applicable local, state, and federal laws
    • Protect confidentiality of students’ career and recruitment-related information

    Candidate Referral: If you receive a request for student referrals:

    • Send the request from the employer to the Career Center to post for all qualified candidates
    • If you do choose to encourage students to apply, don’t limit to only one class of individuals

    Referring Candidates of Diverse Backgrounds:

    • Immediately contact the Career Center to inform them of such a request
    • You may also make announcements in class, post signs in your department, and notify relevant student organizations

    Providing References: If you are asked to provide a written or oral reference:

    • You must have prior written authorization from the student
    • You should provide information that is based on facts and not on personal information unrelated to the student’s qualifications for the job

    Writing Reference Letters: If you are asked to provide a reference, consider these questions:

    • Who will see this information?
    • Is the person asking for a reference entitled to that information?
    • What is the purpose of the information?
    • Is the information accurate?
    • Is the information misleading?

    When in doubt: Contact the Career Center!
