Advising playbook
Your advisers run the same good conversation at the right stage, whoever the adviser is.
Who it's for
You run career services at a DC college (C1, C2) or student services (S2), and your advisers each run conversations their own way.
The goal it serves
Our goals for each item, in our own words. C1: Advisers have a shared, repeatable way to run career conversations. C2: Every graduating student has one structured conversation about where and how they'll practice. S2: Every student is checked in with on a schedule, with the right questions for their stage.
What you receive
- C1: a stage-based playbook built on the Exposure → Experience → Expression frame (what to ask a first-year and a final-year, what to capture, what to hand the student), an adviser guide, conversation templates by stage, two training sessions, and a 90-day check-in.
- C2: four conversation packs (DC1 to DC4), each with the questions, a one-page student worksheet, and an adviser prep sheet.
- S2: a check-in cadence and question set by stage, with a guide to what to do with the answers, and training.
What you give us
- Your current advising touchpoints, forms, or check-in practice.
- Adviser or staff time: two half-days for C1.
- C2: your graduating-class calendar and the three things you most want every graduate to leave knowing.
- A named owner.
