Scaling Career Readiness Across Campus
About the event:
Preparing students for workforce success cannot rest solely on the career center. It requires collaboration across campus, meaningful employer engagement, and systems that make career support accessible to every student.
Join Shawndra Harmond, Vice President of Strategic Partnerships & Workforce Engagement at WriteSea, and Brandon Mitchell, PMP, CSM, CEO and Co-Founder of WriteSea, for a timely conversation about how institutions can build a more connected and scalable approach to career readiness.
Drawing from Shawndra’s more than 25 years of experience advancing student success, including leading university career services at an institution serving approximately 9,000 students, and Brandon’s experience building career-readiness infrastructure with higher education and workforce partners, they will explore how institutions can use technology and strategic partnerships to expand their capacity and connect more students with meaningful career opportunities.
Whether you work in career services, workforce development, student success, academic affairs, enrollment, employer relations, or institutional leadership, you’ll leave with practical ideas for making career readiness a shared, campus-wide priority.
This session will explore:
Making career readiness a shared responsibility across campus
Expanding access to career support beyond the career center
Building stronger faculty, alumni, and employer partnerships
Using technology and AI to deliver support at scale
Connecting career readiness to workforce needs
Creating more coordinated pathways from education to employment
