Researching educational pathways, career development, and tools that help students connect college experiences to future careers.
The College-to-Career Team studies how educational experiences shape students' career opportunities and long-term outcomes. Our work combines educational research, data analysis, and student-centered innovation to better understand career pathways while developing resources that help students navigate the transition from college to career.
Our research examines how K-12 preparation, college experiences, and demographic factors influence educational attainment, STEM participation, and career outcomes.
We developed and evaluate an online tool designed to help sociology students explore career pathways, identify transferable skills, connect coursework to careers, and access professional development resources.
Early implementation suggests the tool helps students better articulate their skills, understand career resources, and connect their academic experiences to future opportunities.
