INTERVIEW: Career Center Trends

by 2 Comments

I had the pleasure to speak with two long-time college career counselors on career trends they are facing due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Obviously, things are different, but what are they?

Listen to this very interesting talk with two college career center experts on how they are dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic. We also chat a bit about the social injustice movement and how that may affect career centers.

MY QUESTIONS

How has the pandemic created career center trends and forced colleges to deliver services differently?

We also discussed what career center trends may not go away after the pandemic is over.
