College is more than just classes and exams—it’s the starting point for a student’s future career. That’s why Barnes & Noble College and Home From College have teamed up to launch Campus to Career, a powerful new initiative designed to equip Gen Z students with the tools, resources, and opportunities they need to thrive after graduation.

A Shared Mission: Setting Students Up for Success

Both Barnes & Noble College and Home From College understand that today’s students need more than textbooks and study spaces—they need real-world guidance.

Through the Campus to Career program, students will gain access to:

Career-Building Resources – From resume-writing tips to interview prep guides, students will have the tools to confidently step into the job market.
Exclusive Workshops & Events – Virtual and in-person events will connect students with industry professionals and career experts.
Campus-Specific Opportunities – Tailored programming that speaks directly to each school’s unique student body.

Why Campus to Career Matters

📊 The Numbers Speak for Themselves:

Barnes & Noble College: 6M+ students, 750+ campuses
Home From College: Representation at every U.S. college campus

By combining forces, Campus to Career creates a seamless bridge between college life and the professional world, empowering students to dream big and take action.

This initiative is especially impactful for first-generation students and those without access to strong professional networks, leveling the playing field and ensuring every student has a chance to succeed.

Introducing the Career Readiness Journal: A New Student Resource

As part of the Campus to Career initiative, Home From College has partnered with No Particular Order, a mission-driven creative studio, to design and launch the Career Readiness Journal—a first-of-its-kind resource for students navigating their transition from college to career.

Available exclusively in Barnes & Noble College bookstores nationwide, the journal serves as both a practical guide and an interactive workbook, offering:

Goal-Setting Tools to help students define their career ambitions
Resume & Cover Letter Planning Pages for job application prep
Interview Practice Exercises to build confidence and communication skills
Networking & Relationship Mapping Tools to expand professional connections
Weekly Reflection Prompts to track progress and personal growth

This journal is designed to meet students where they are, whether they’re just starting to explore career paths or actively preparing for internships and job interviews. By making it accessible in campus bookstores, students can easily integrate it into their academic and career development journey.

Looking Ahead: A Future-Ready Student Community

Campus to Career is just the beginning. Over the coming months, students will see new content, resources, and events designed to make career development accessible and exciting.

From learning how to ace an internship interview, to discovering networking strategies for landing that first job, Barnes & Noble College and Home From College are dedicated to helping every student turn their goals into reality.
