Abstract
There is a need for colleges and universities to better prepare students for future careers. One potential way colleges and universities can go about preparing students for their future careers is by embedding career development supports into existing programs and courses for undergraduates. Job crafting, or the process by which individuals actively shape their own work, has been shown to support the well-being and retention of employees in various careers. In addition, previous studies show that individuals can gain knowledge about and confidence to job craft through professional development. My study tests the effectiveness of a workshop designed to support the development of job crafting, with the intention of supporting undergraduate students’ career preparation. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected with participants completing a pre- and post-survey before and after the workshop. Results demonstrated that the workshop effectively introduced participants to the process of job crafting. We are working to develop this workshop into a concise lesson plan that can be presented in any academic setting.
