Balancing Coaching and Employer Development

Our campuses did an exercise to develop our Statement of Purpose, Mission Statement for the department. There was debate in our philosophy in regard to how much of our purpose is to coach and enable and how much is dedicated to employer development. Overall, our philosophy is 50/50. "Teach the students and graduates how to fish... and within a fully stocked lake". Is that philosophy similar to other career colleges who focuses on placement outcomes?

Jennifer,

Sounds great. We believe that it is all about customer service. Students are the customers. Once everyone on staff gets that, then what to do is easy. We really like your philosophy. It states that jobs are the goal for each student. It says that developing and maintaining relationships with employers is what it is all about. Thanks, Susan
