Because of the move toward automation and a more knowledge-based economy, it is imperative that colleges and universities develop graduates who have the capacity for continued growth--graduates with a foundation of skills and knowledge that can be built upon for future employment. A liberal arts education can expose students to depth in an area while allowing the learner to pursue other interests beyond the major. This educational approach develops a well-rounded individual who is not only prepared for a job that exists now but is also equipped with transferable skills to use in jobs that have not yet been created. This article discusses how liberal arts colleges and universities can enhance students' progression into the workplace through programs such as mentorships, high-impact practices such as a unifying first-year experience, a culminating final-year experience such as a thesis or project, undergraduate research opportunities, community engagement, study abroad, internships and co-ops, and through the development of a career or placement organization.
