Building a Holistic Approach to Career Advising: A National Opportunity for CPP
Cal Poly Pomona was recently selected to participate in NASPA's On-Ramps to Holistic Career Advising for Student Success Community of Practice, a national initiative focused on integrating career readiness throughout the student experience. This session will provide an overview of the initiative, share why CPP was selected, and discuss how this work supports our broader student success priorities and the CSU Student Success Framework.Participants will learn how the Community of Practice will help inform our efforts to better connect academic advising, career development, and student support, ensuring students are prepared not only to earn a degree but also to achieve meaningful post-graduation success. The session will also provide updates on the transition of the Career Center to the Office of Student Success and highlight opportunities for faculty and staff to engage in this work as we assess our current practices and develop a more coordinated approach to career readiness across the student lifecycle.
