We can't wait for this this ConnectUR Preconference workshop! Leveraging Career-Readiness Language in Your Research & Creative Inquiry Experiences

This highly engaging workshop will take place on Monday, June 24, 2024, 10:30 AM - 12:30 PM ET in College Park, Maryland, and will be facilitated by Jeanne Mekolichick, Joe Wirgau, Leah Ellis, Abi Green, and Cora Burt.

Participants will learn to reframe how to present their undergraduate research, scholarship, and creative inquiry (URSCI) experiences in terms of transferable career readiness skills identified by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) as in demand by employers. The aim of these student-centered career readiness adjustments is to close the articulation gap between what students learn from their URSCI experiences and what recruiters, employers, legislators, and families seek from higher education. Participants will: (1) become familiar with the NACE career readiness competencies, (2) learn how to apply the NACE competencies to undergraduate research experiences (UREs), (3) see examples of how to apply the NACE competencies to UREs, and (4) begin an action plan for infusing NACE career readiness in your UREs.
