College of Liberal Arts Career Readiness Tools and Resources

Liberal arts students question the investment in their education because the connection between their education and future career is not directly apparent. Faculty and instructors want to help students but lack the required pedagogy and framework to be successful. Higher education and liberal arts institutions largely leave this process to chance.

Faculty and staff at the University of Minnesota have developed the CLA Core Competency Framework, Graphics, the Career Readiness Guide, and the RATE™ - Reflect, Articulate, Translate, and Evaluate digital tool.

Phase of Development
