West Chester University (West Chester University Libraries)

West Chester University of Pennsylvania will partner with Indiana University Bloomington, Western Michigan University, and Delaware County Community College to develop a CareerLit Learning Module Series for college students to advance their career information literacy and career research competencies. This project intends to transform the ways that libraries serve the nation through a substantive, learning-centered collaboration model between libraries, career centers, and colleges. The module series will provide students with a structured pathway to identify career goals that are aligned with their intrinsic values and personal definitions of success. Students will gain insights into career options, explore career resources and opportunities, and create a personalized road map for career success. This project will target college students, especially during their first or second year in college, to foster their self-efficacy, adaptability, and agency in early-stage career exploration, planning, and decision making.
