CAREER PATHWAYS AND THE PSYCHOLOGY MAJOR
KAREN STAMM, JESSICA CONROY, LUONA LIN, PEGGY CHRISTIDIS (AMERICAN PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION)
Psychology represents one of the most popular undergraduate majors nationally, with about 125,000 degrees awarded annually. Nevertheless, the connection between psychology and the workforce is not always clear, nor is there a set career trajectory that students follow. This presentation will describe career pathways and workforce outcomes for psychology undergraduates, including graduate degree attainment and common occupations. It will provide suggestions for psychology faculty to address gaps in career assistance available to undergraduate students.

9:50am - 10:05am
THE SKILLFUL PSYCHOLOGY STUDENT
JASON YOUNG (HUNTER COLLEGE)
Recently, the American Psychological Association’s Committee on Associate and Baccalaureate Education (CABE) commissioned a group of educators in psychology to identify how studying psychology develops employer-valued skills--cognitive, communication, personal, social, and technological skills. In this session, one of the authors will describe how to become aware of these skills, work with your academic advisor to identify opportunities to develop the skills, and learn how to market these skills to potential employers.
