Training and Development Theory and Research History of Advising/Higher Education

Graduate programs provide an education to students in which they acquire deep knowledge and develop the skills they need for their careers. For example, graduate programs in human resource development develop their students (Yildirim-Tasti et al., 2021) and provide robust curricula that strengthen students’ competencies to succeed in the workplace (Akdere & Conceição, 2009; Hoell & Henry, 2003; Kuchinke, 2002; Lim & Cho, 2015; Lim & Rager, 2015; Yildirim-Tasti et al., 2021). Recently, academic advising graduate programs have begun to emerge, but more must be done to define academic advising as an academic discipline (McGill et al., 2022). They must support competencies graduates leave with upon graduation. In this presentation, the author(s) will facilitate discussions for advisers to reflect on their own competencies and how they are critical to developing graduate programs in academic advising.
