Jeremy Podany sits down with Michael Drew, Senior Vice Provost for Academic Affairs, and Daniel Liu, Assistant Vice Provost for Career Success, to discuss how one of the nation's largest and most selective public universities is sparking change in colleges, among faculty, and with career professionals around a shared vision for student career success for all students.

    In today’s episode, Nikki Marzano and Drew Poppleton from John Carroll University will  discuss the creation of a required four-year professional development program designed to ensure every student receives structured career support throughout their college journey.

    Measuring Embedded Career Learning

    What does it take to embed career development learning across an entire university—and prove that it works? In this episode, Jeremy sits down with Julieanne Cutrupi and Eva Chan from the University of Technology Sydney to explore their multi-year journey from an opportunistic, opt-in model to a curriculum-embedded approach spanning 73 degree programs and 135 subjects, reaching approximately 33,500 students. Together, they unpack how a team of just 4.6 equivalent career professionals built this scalable career ecosystem, developed a framework for measuring its impact, and generated compelling evidence that embedded career education significantly improves students’ career understanding, clarity, and confidence.

    Intentional, Relationship-driven Approach to Integrated Career Learning Across the Entire Campus

    What does it actually look like to build a career ecosystem at a small liberal arts college — and how do you bring faculty, staff, alumni, and students along for the ride? In this episode, Jeremy Podany sits down with Jen Guyer-Wood, Associate Vice President of Life Design and Innovation at Macalester College, to explore how a 2,000-student campus in St. Paul, Minnesota has spent the last three years intentionally weaving career learning into the fabric of student life. Jen shares how a newly launched strategic plan, a realignment of Student Affairs under Academic Affairs, and a culture of deep relationships created the perfect conditions for systemic change. From a first-year "Strengths in Action" course to a brand-new "Engage" general education requirement — ensuring every student completes an applied learning experience — Jen unpacks the specific moves her team has made to embed career learning where students already are, rather than waiting for them to walk through the career center door.
