Many students attend college because it is what comes next after high school. At such a young age, many do not know what careers they are interested in or what they want to do for the rest of their lives. Oftentimes, students pick a broad major in hopes that something will pique their interest. One of the current issues related to career readiness in college graduates is the lack of soft skills among students. Soft skills also happens to be what employers value. Soft skills include critical thinking, technology, equity and inclusion, communication, leadership, teamwork, professionalism, and career and self-development. In an interview done by Mayorga (2022) one of the interviewees states that “Students are not initially proficient with their soft skills” (p. 374). The article further explains how soft skills are needed regardless of the student’s major or career.
One of the student affairs areas that can support student development as it relates to career readiness is the Career Center. All institutions of higher education have a Career Center. In my experience, Career Centers are underutilized. Career Centers offer students the opportunities to explore internships, participate in career or job fairs, and have resume-building workshops as well as interviewing assistance. Unfortunately, many students are unaware of this service. One of the ways I believe that we can help fix the career readiness issue is by requiring students to do internships during their first semester in college. Regardless of whether the student enjoys their experience or not will help the student determine if it is the right career for them. “Unless students are prepared for their careers, it is likely that they end up in careers either they are not interested in or not willing to stay” (Baird & Parayitam, 2019, p. 630). If a student waits until their last semester to do an internship and they absolutely dislike the field they are working in, chances are that they will either stay in a field they do not enjoy or have to prolong their education by changing their major.
