From Reflection to Resumes: Alumni Perceptions of a Multi-Term Public Service Program's Connection to Career
Nilsen, Ryan; Gillis, Alanna; Hutson, Bryant; Blanchard, Lynn
Journal of Community Engagement and Higher Education, v12 n3 p33-52 2020
This paper explores how alumni of a multi-term public service program understand the connection between the program and their career development. Qualitative data were collected from 393 alumni based on six open-ended survey questions. While career and professional development is not an explicit goal of the program, a thematic analysis suggests that alumni perceived that the program connected to career reflection, boosted their resume, and guided them toward a public service career or specific jobs.
