In Fall 2024 NACE partnered with the American Association of Colleges and Universities (AAC&U) and the Society for Experiential Education (SEE) to survey college faculty, staff and administrators about their engagement in career preparation and development.
This report presents an in-depth exploration of how career preparation is integrated into experiential learning and high-impact practices led by faculty, staff, and administrators in higher education. It offers strategic recommendations and pathways to enhance these practices, with a focus on supporting career readiness and development.
The report also provides actionable guidance for higher education institutions to strengthen their institutional support for career-integrated experiential learning initiatives.
