With employment rates dropping and nearly half of recent graduates either unemployed or underemployed, career planning services at colleges are becoming a vital component to the academic experience.
In a recent radio broadcast by WGBH, Amy Murphy, director of career planning at the College of the Holy Cross, says career planning is designed "to round out [student] academic experience, and support them in finding opportunities to try out the skills they develop in the classroom in a work environment." She adds that institutions now see career planning as an obligation to their students, rather than the value add-on it was for previous generations.
