Programming
Competency Curriculum Integration – The CALES Competencies are a cornerstone of career development in CALES and articulating how courses are integrating, supporting, and developing the competencies is a value-add for students. If faculty would like to discuss how they can integrate the competencies into their courses or discuss how they are already integrating them and how they can be articulated to students, the CALES Career Center can support this. Contact Career Center staff for a consultation.

Champion activities and tasks will align with and support the Career Center’s vision to become the national model for competency-based career and entrepreneurial leadership development in colleges of agriculture and the life sciences.
