From advising students on career-related issues, to connecting students to resources on and off campus, faculty are often a key source for students about careers.
In Fall 2023, for the first time ever, NACE partnered with the American Association of Colleges and Universities (AAC&U) and the Society for Experiential Education (SEE) to survey college faculty about their engagement in career preparation and development.
Faculty Attitudes and Behaviors: The Integration of Career Readiness Into the Curriculum highlights data from the survey that demonstrate the many ways faculty support career readiness. It also offers recommendations for how institutions of higher education and their faculty and staff can work together to support deeper engagement of faculty in the career development and, ultimately, the outcomes of students to support greater institutional effectiveness.

Strategic Approaches to Integrating Career Readiness Competencies, developed by the NACE Career Integration Task Force, identifies strategies and practices for integrating career readiness skills and competencies institution-wide and examines how career readiness informs skills-based hiring. The publication also identifies further areas for research.
CUNY SPS recognized that certain curricula could better communicate to students how their courses address career competencies and the significance of the competencies in achieving career success.
The University of Redlands’ Career Faculty Fellows Program was launched in 2019 to help the institution scale career services and embed career preparedness more intentionally into the curriculum.

The effective preparation of college students for careers is an important college outcome. Yet, employers and the public increasingly feel that universities are not doing enough to prepare students for the workforce
To understand faculty activity and attitudes about preparing students for post-degree employment, the authors surveyed faculty and found that are willing allies.
One way to address career preparation is by ingraining it into the curriculum with the help of faculty champions.
