Curriculum, career planning and development, student success.

This session will tell the story of the ‘REACH’ initiative - the efforts of a management school to embed career preparedness into the undergraduate business curriculum. The REACH initiative represents the joint efforts of faculty and staff to provide students not just with a career plan on graduation, but also a set of skills that will support the career decisions they make throughout their working lifetimes. As the world of work changes for millennials and the generations to follow, possession of these skills will represent a source of competitive advantage for those who can navigate the changing landscape of employment.
