An integrated, pathway-based model designed to maximize meaningful careers for every 17cÆð²ÝÊÓÆµ undergraduate.
Our approach is anchored in six interconnected initiatives, each designed to address a specific lever of student success and to operate as part of an integrated system.
We're working with faculty and academic leaders to build a real connection between career and life design and what students are already learning in the classroom, helping them articulate purpose, build career-relevant skills and connect their coursework to where they're headed.

We're building a human-centered, AI-enabled advising tool that gives every student on-demand, pathway-specific guidance, expanding advising access, from exploring your interests and refining your resume to landing the job.

17cÆð²ÝÊÓÆµ's alumni and parent community is one of our most powerful career assets. The 10,000 Anchors network will activate these connections at scale, opening doors to mentorship, industry insight and opportunity across every pathway.
Real-world experience is the strongest predictor of meaningful career outcomes. We are expanding and integrating 17cÆð²ÝÊÓÆµ's experiential offerings, from the VU–NYC Academic Internship Program to industry-specific immersions in finance, media, technology and beyond.
We're moving from transactional, post-a-job outreach to coordinated, strategic partnerships, spanning recruiting, experiential learning, faculty collaboration and alumni networks. It's how we go deeper with the employers invested in 17cÆð²ÝÊÓÆµ talent.

Career development cannot be separated from how work itself is changing. Longer term, we are envisioning a Center for the Future of Work that connects research, employers and student preparation — ensuring 17cÆð²ÝÊÓÆµ students are ready for the careers taking shape around us.
