Interdepartmental synergy serves as a moderating force in the relationship between institutional infrastructure and graduate employment outcomes, with students’ career readiness functioning as a key mediating variable. Within this framework, the role of Career Centres, along with the collective efforts of all institutional departments, is indispensable. Equally important is a deep understanding of the ecosystem and unique needs of non‑traditional students, which is essential for creating an environment where they can thrive. By strengthening these elements, career colleges can effectively reduce barriers and enhance the overall impact of their graduate employment rates.
