A Year of Work Ready Wednesday

Submitted by Grace Kirker on

Work Ready Wednesday launched in Fall 2024 hosting sessions weekly to prepare students for the workforce by building a toolkit of essential professional skills, exploring trending topics in the workforce and connecting to industry leaders. Over the 2024–2025 academic year, the program hosted 25 sessions with 368 students and 60 staff or faculty attending. A 54.76% increase in attendance from fall to spring reflected the impact of campus collaboration, consistent scheduling, engaging guest speakers, faculty support, and targeted marketing.
