Too often, career development is separate from academics. This separation is to the detriment of both. Placing academics in a career context provides students with an answer to the question, “Why is this subject important?” Providing an academic context to career exploration enables students to think about careers in the light of their academic experiences, their academic strengths, and their academic interests.
