to competitive job markets
Poised for Success
Ann Abbott, Director of Undergraduate StudiesUniversity of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign@AnnAbbott
LSP educators are often positioned as CAREER COUNSELORS.
Departments tout
LONG LISTS of career opportunities or claim that languages will set you apart for ANY JOB.
With face-to-face workshops and online resources, we can offer students CAREER ADVICE in specific, truthful, systematic ways.
Interact
Offer live workshop series.
Involve
Post about and by students.
Connect
Share relevant updates.
Curate
Compose helpful captions.
Coach
Be available to counsel, prep.
Interact
Connect your students.
Invite
Bring students back.
LSP educators are not career coaches. But we can HELP STUDENTS SUCCEED during and after our classes—strategically.
