Engaging Indigenous Students with Career Services (feat. Beverly Johnson)

Career Everywhere

Beverly Johnson, Associate Director of Career Readiness at Arizona State University, shares how her team is engaging Indigenous students with career services.

Beverly talks about:

• The programming and initiatives her team has implemented to reach more Indigenous students
• What important cultural considerations to keep in mind
• How career services professionals can be good allies
• And more

Having worked with Indigenous students for many years, Beverly digs into the feedback she and her team received from Indigenous students at ASU about why they weren’t engaging with career services. One big piece of feedback from students was a lack of Indigenous representation on the website, at career fairs, in workshops, etc. Beverly shares how they’ve improved representation, how she found allies across campus, and why it’s so important to consistently show up.
