We want to make it easy for you to enroll your students in a WORK course. These courses exist to help your students achieve their career goals. There are options for students who are transferring, students entering the workforce, and students looking to explore careers in order to guide their academic pathway 

Connect us with Employers

If you have an employer you want to connect us with we are happy to support you and help place students. Send us an email including the employer and make an introduction. We will take it from there.

You can be the WORK Instructor

You can be the instructor of record for your students’ WORK courses if you wish, and we have a document that explains the process and what you are agreeing to when you take on that role. You are not required to be the instructor of record, most instructors prefer that we take on that responsibility and work with you to make sure you feel comfortable with the student's placement and learning objectives. Sometimes the turnaround is quick and if you are busy teaching you may struggle to fulfill the commitment and coordinate with the student and employer for the site visit. The best thing you can do for your students is familiarize yourself with the process. If you are the supervisor, you will need someone else to be the instructor. The WORK program coordinator will be the instructor in that scenario. 

No matter what path you want to travel, we can walk with you. 

Our goal is to expose 100% of MPC students to career readiness skills. 

A way to achieve this is for 100% of instructors to add career-embedded instruction to their courses. 

This three tiered approach allows you to choose how much or how little time you spend on this endeavor.

• Committed: 10 assignments have been created and shared with you, they come with time estimates, technology needs, and all of the documents you need to complete them online or in-person with your students, you don't need to use all 10, pick and choose one or two, if a student wants all 10 in one course you should refer them to take WORK 96 /496 Professional and Essential Skills

• Inspired: a new course has arrived that you can teach, you're the expert in your field, why not add WORK 495 Beyond the Classroom to your program as an optional kicker course and teach it

• Referral: add the WORK Program Canvas page to your welcome module and this will achieve your goal of exposing students without taking away class time please make a request here

The best part of this model is you can change it up when you have semesters with more time, or maybe your department wants to split up the options between faculty or take turns, it is up to your department.

If you choose one of the three options you will be part of changing your student's lives through career-embedded curriculum. 

Help Your Students Find Their Rich...

As MPC Faculty what does being rich mean to you?

• Having time for loved ones? 

• Collecting and curating tons of stories about your life, travel, and experiences?

• Living close by to your family?

• Being able to afford food, shelter, transportation, and having the means to start a family?

• Living your life on your own terms, where you want to live, working when you want to work?

Ensuring our students are able to obtain gainful employment is their path to defining what rich means for them.
