Abstract: | Reviewing the literature and attending conferences reveals a sad similarity in the practice of most career development programs. Most colleges provide counseling, testing, and a number of workshops. The problem is not with the information presented, but with the teaching-learning methodology used to communicate it. Most current approaches are didactic in nature and therefore incompatible with the very essence of career development. This article will describe the successful career internship program at Kalamazoo College, which combines career development and experiential learning with impressive results. |
