We need to recognize that the most fundamental challenge that career counselors confront is to assist their clients to develop the skills of adaptation and resilience required to negotiate and use productively the fluctuating fortunes of their careers.
(Pryor & Bright, 2011)

The College Students of 2020
To serve the Students of 2020, Colleges & Universities need to be thinking about what value they are adding to a student’s learning:
– Colleges that attempt to cram their styles down students’ throats on the basis that it is “good for them” may quickly find themselves uncompetitive.
– The market is moving away from the traditional mode of disseminating education, but colleges are very slow to understand and adapt to that change.

CSOResearch.com / (866) 705-4201 / [email protected] Copyright © 2015 CSO Research, Inc.
• Want to talk to professionals in order to learn about future jobs and careers and to gain experience
• Crave personalization and convenience (learning should be personalized based on students’ desires and how they learn best)

To serve the Students of 2020, college Career Centers need to be thinking about what value they are adding to a student’s learning:
– Career Centers that attempt to cram their style of service down students’ throats on the basis that it is “good for them” may quickly find themselves uncompetitive.
– The market is moving away from the traditional
mode of career services, but college career centers are very slow to understand and adapt to that change.
