2026 International ACAC Conference Session Proposal Form

As students and families increasingly prioritize Return on Investment (ROI), counselors and universities must effectively articulate the bridge between education and employability. This session equips attendees with concrete strategies to demonstrate value, drawing on real case studies from institutions and student journeys to illustrate what works in practice. We will cover placement years, industry-embedded units, and post-study work options in the UK, Australia, and emerging global hubs, showing how these pathways translate into measurable career outcomes. Attendees will also explore data-backed alumni case examples and proven methods for activating alumni networks to reassure parents about the university investment. Join us for an evidence-led narrative on career preparation and global outcomes.
