What you'll learn

Coach AI use from employer reality, not guesswork

In Jobscan data from the past year, use of the word “AI” more than doubled in job descriptions while it fell on resumes. Employers are asking for AI more than ever, and students are saying it less. Most career centers are building AI guidance from internal opinion. This session gives you the employer view to build it on instead.

Where employers draw the line

See which uses of AI employers accept during application prep, and which ones they reject once the interview or assessment begins.

Recruiters, students and coaches, side by side

Compare what recruiters say about AI with what students and career coaches report doing, and find the gaps your guidance needs to close.

What to teach this term

Four habits students can use right away to prepare with AI and still perform on their own when it counts.

What to plan for next year

A simple way to set your career center's stance on AI: what to allow, what to coach, and what to require.
