Abstract:
This paper describes the Career Readiness Education (CRED) program. Guided by research-based best
practices, CRED is designed to create an educational pathway for students to obtain guidance on career choices and ensure successful transition from college-to-work. CRED’s goals are for students to (a) assess their career options (b) test career expectations through direct exposure to workplace cultures and (c) recognize and value elements of professionalism. For each goal, we identify student learning outcomes (SLOs), activities and SLOs assessments. The implementation of this program seeks to enhance
educational experiences of students and allow them to succeed in their life-long career journey.
