College to Career Books for Students and Parents

One of the pleasures of my work is that I am able to meet and collaborate on a variety of projects with some truly wonderful, insightful people. Two of my favorite people are Terese Corey Blanck and Peter Vogt of College to Career. Along with Judy Anderson, they recently published two outstanding books, one targeted to the parents of college students and the other targeted to the college students themselves.

The College to Career Road Map: A Four-Year Guide to Coaching Your StudentThe College to Career Road Map: A Four-Year Guide to Finding Your Path

For parents of college students, they published "The College to Career Road Map: A Four-Year Guide to Coaching Your Student." It will help parents guide their college student through the career exploration and decision-making process. Parents will learn how to take on the role of career development coach—someone who doesn't have all the answers but who instead helps the student help himself/herself. The book also outlines the academic and experiential activities that are most critical for students to work on during their college years, so that they can confidently discern their future direction and boost their chances of landing a satisfying job after graduation.

For current and future college students, they published "The College to Career Road Map: A Four-Year Guide to Finding Your Path." It will help students discover the specific academic and experiential activities they can pursue—during each of their years in school, freshman through senior—to give themselves the best chance of landing a great job after graduation.

There are many career books on the market, but none like these. While some of the advice is not what you call revolutionary, it can certainly be described as evolutionary. But that's not why I love these books. I love them because the information is presented in the form of very easy to understand and follow road maps. Revolutionary or evolutionary, they're fantastic.
