The IntegrationsClosing the gap between academic course work
and career success requires a clear approach
to course design.
This portfolio highlights two frameworks that embed workforce skills into curriculum structures.
From program mapping to a first-year seminar, these initiatives give faculty a practical way
to support student success and career skill development.
Curriculum Alignment
for Career Readiness
Measurable Learning Outcomes and Skills Mapping
This project demonstrates a structural approach to curriculum alignment
by embedding core career readiness skills into established course learning outcomes.
Instead of treating workforce preparation as an separate curriculum, it creates a clear, measurable link between academic rigor and industry-relevant skills.
The result is a structure where student behaviors and academic performance translate into professional capabilities.
Developed to support faculty in redesigning general education curricula, this framework helps integrate career-ready skills directly into course design.
It provides a clear structure for aligning instruction with measurable learning outcomes during a broader general education revision focused on strengthening workforce relevance.
"Career readiness cannot be siloed into career services alone. Faculty engagement, curricular design, and co-curricular alignment all play critical roles. Institutions that treat learning outcomes, civic engagement, and workforce preparation as interconnected rather than competing priorities are better positioned to thrive."
