Abstract:
|
As a professor, Practicum Coordinator, and faculty advisor, the presenter is committed to helping students align their academic journey with career aspirations. This session explores how intentional advising strategies can transform healthcare students into standout candidates in today's competitive job market.
Preparing students for evolving healthcare careers requires more than academic knowledge-it demands structured advising approaches that integrate career readiness. This session highlights competency-based frameworks, including the NACADA Academic Advising Core Competencies Model and The Essentials for Professional Nursing Education, to bridge the gap between coursework and professional success.
Attendees will learn to incorporate Appreciative Advising principles to foster student-centered, strengths-based advising. The session also explores e-portfolios and holistic support strategies to enhance student engagement, resilience, and career confidence. Participants will leave with actionable tools to improve advising effectiveness and student career development. |
