An essay on whether career guidance in colleges belongs to career services, faculty or the whole institution, and what shared ownership looks like.
Why I recommend it: Written for college leaders, but useful for students to see why career help is often patchy — and to ask for it early.
A 58-minute recorded webinar for college career-services staff and advisers, run by Jobscan with Jeremy Schifeling of The Job Insiders, on three labour-market numbers worth building this year's student advising around — including hiring data and H-1B sponsorship patterns.
Why I recommend it: Free to watch with no sign-up, recorded live on 22 September 2026. Be straight with yourself about what it is: a raw, unedited replay shared on a private Descript link by the host, which means it can be taken down at any time, and it is a webinar run by a company that sells resume-scanning software, so expect the product to appear. I could not read the full transcript, so I am not repeating the three figures here — watch it and check each number against its named source before you quote it to a student. Jeremy Schifeling also published a free H-1B sponsor-finder tool alongside the event.
A free candidate account that sends job alerts for reviewed openings, lets approved recruiters consider your profile, and tracks applications, saved jobs and resumes.
Why I recommend it: Joining the talent network is free — you do not have to fill out a long application first. Their one-to-one career services and employer packages are paid, so treat the network as the free front door and ignore the upsells unless you want them.
A New York nonprofit that trains the staff of workforce development organizations, with programs, research and practice resources on serving job seekers well.
Why I recommend it: If you work in workforce development, this is professional development for you rather than for your clients. Their practice materials are strong.
A private operator of correctional facilities that also provides re-entry support, education, vocational training, and career services for individuals returning to the workforce.
Why I recommend it: Relevant if you are coaching someone with a criminal record or navigating re-entry. MTC facilities often connect residents with education, vocational training, and job placement support.
