Workshop. Career Readiness Reimagined: A Case Study in Leveraging AI for Student Agency

The widening gap between higher education and the modern job market demands a proactive, data-driven approach to student career readiness. Join 1Mentor and the University of Virginia as they provide a deep dive into UVA's CareerConnect initiative to demonstrate how institutions can use real-time data to empower students in identifying, developing, and articulating their skills, thereby better aligning academic experience and career aspirations. Powerful new data-driven tools for advisors, department chairs, and deans will also be highlighted. Participants will examine key challenges, explore actionable solutions, participate in a peer-led dialogue, and walk away with a concrete plan for their own institutions.
