Our Focus Areas

Career Everywhere

We are committed to collaborating with faculty, staff, and departments everywhere across the UNLV campus to prepare and support career-ready students and graduates. Providing excellent and inclusive career education is a community effort. We appreciate your partnership in ensuring that our students and alumni can fulfill their personal and professional goals.

Career Mobility

Career Mobility is the combination of career pathway preparation, career satisfaction, and economic mobility (Career Leadership Collective, NACMS, 2021). The goal of the career readiness initiatives at UNLV is to support the career mobility of students through career pathway preparation. This framework represents the activities all students will engage in and the competencies they will develop while a student at UNLV.

According to the National Alumni Career Mobility Survey, these are the six high-impact career mobility practices:

  1. Understanding career opportunities
  2. Creating a career plan
  3. Networking with employers
  4. Having an internship related to their current career
  5. Receiving helpful career advice (in general, from faculty or employers)
  6. Learning critical thinking

By engaging with UNLV Career Services to facilitate these high-impact career mobility practices in the classroom and beyond, faculty can help set students up for a lifetime of career satisfaction and success!
