Guest after guest described Career Everywhere as something that has to live outside the career center—in classrooms, dorms, student orgs, and everyday conversations with faculty and staff.It's a whole-institution effort. Many guests emphasized partnership: faculty sending students their way, employers showing up for more than recruiting, and every corner of campus rowing in the same direction.It spans a student's entire journey—and beyond. Several answers pushed back on the idea of career readiness as a single milestone (like a capstone course or a first job), framing it instead as something that starts on day one and extends well past graduation.Equity is central. A number of guests connected Career Everywhere directly to access—making sure career support reaches first-gen students, students without existing networks or cultural capital, and anyone who might otherwise be left out.Mentorship shows up everywhere. From coaches to professors to fellow students, guests pointed to the wide range of people who shape someone's career journey, not just formal career staff.Tune in to hear the full range of answers, in guests' own words, recorded live amid the energy (and noise!) of the NACE conference hall.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/TrzA0-LSinxoJEe66KJpatUxUh4t2w3jXW0NZ0qGHUw/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzM3MjE5LzE2NzE2/NTg2NDAtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
