Students develop career readiness skills by creating artifacts such as resumes, LinkedIn profiles, and ePortfolios. Survey data collected from 386 students after completing the assignment indicate a strong positive perception of engagement and the development of real-world skills. Students found the assignment engaging and valuable, particularly in enhancing their understanding of course content's relevance to their future careers. The paper concludes by discussing implications for incorporating EL in introductory computing courses and proposing future research directions.
