The future of career services is experiential, and we're excited to showcase exactly what that means at the 2025 NACE Annual Conference & Expo. From June 9-11 in Philadelphia, Symplicity will be at the forefront of conversations about transforming how students connect classroom learning to real-world career success.
Experience Learning in Action at Our Experiential Learning Hub
As the proud sponsor of the Experiential Learning Hub, Symplicity is creating a dynamic space where career services professionals can explore, engage, and experiment with cutting-edge approaches to hands-on learning. This isn't just another booth – it's an interactive environment where you'll discover how to:
- Bridge the gap between academic theory and professional practice
- Design meaningful internship and co-op experiences that drive student outcomes
- Leverage technology to scale experiential learning opportunities
- Measure the real impact of hands-on learning on career readiness
Experiential learning experts will be on hand to demonstrate how institutions across the country are revolutionizing their approach to career preparation through immersive, practical experiences that prepare students for the workforce of tomorrow.
Tune In Live: Mindset in Motion Podcast Recording
Career development isn't just about skills – it's about mindset. That's why we're bringing our popular Mindset in Motion podcast directly to the NACE for a special live recording session focused on experiential learning.
Join us as we dive deep into career success, featuring:
- Live interviews with industry thought leaders
- Real-time audience participation and Q&A
- Insights into how mindset shapes career trajectories
- Practical strategies for helping students define their experiential learning journeys
Whether you're a longtime listener or discovering the podcast for the first time, this interactive session will give you actionable insights to transform how you approach career coaching and student development.
Why Experiential Learning Matters More Than Ever
Today's employers aren't just looking for graduates with degrees – they want candidates who can think critically, solve complex problems, and adapt quickly to new challenges. Traditional classroom learning, while essential, only tells part of the story.
Experiential learning fills that crucial gap by:
Building Practical Competencies: Students develop real-world skills through internships, co-ops, research projects, and service learning that can't be replicated in a textbook.
Enhancing Self-Awareness: Hands-on experiences help students discover their strengths, interests, and career preferences through direct engagement rather than theoretical exploration.
Creating Meaningful Connections: Experiential programs connect students with industry professionals, mentors, and potential employers in authentic professional contexts.
Demonstrating Value to Employers: Students who participate in experiential learning programs graduate with portfolios of actual work, proven abilities, and professional references.
