The Career Planning Milestones program is the second embedded Transformative Learning Experience. The Career Center tracks students’ completion of key career development activities, including self-awareness and career exploration, résumé/CV writing, interview skills, professional networking, and engagement. Students who complete the program receive a graduation cord during their final semester.
Evaluation Plan and measures: Completion & Comparison with previous years
KPIs: percentage of students graduating who complete the milestones
Baseline measure (for each KPI): previous year’s completion rate – 83.9% (2023-24)
Current/most recent data (for each KPI): 85.7% (2024-25)
Goal or targets (for each KPI): Increase participation in career milestones
The Milestones were revised in 2021. Since the program’s revision to include activities that typically occur within academic departments such as attending professional conferences, we have seen a significant increase in program completion rates.
Continue to promote and track the program.
The university provides significant support and promotion for the Career Planning Milestones program, and losing that support would greatly affect its success and reach.
