It is so improtant for us to know which programs need different strategies - find out which programs would benefit from externship and what types of job fairs would help others.
I learned that finding out the needs of the individual student is key and giving them the resources to be successful in finding employment is monumental to accompishing their goals.
I learned that we need to set up our career services where we post jobs. I am in a high school setting and we currently don't post jobs for the students. I usually go to the instructor to find candidates.
I have learned that an established, updated, and well maintained Career Service Department (CSD) is necessary to benefit both current students, alumni, and business and industry stakeholders. I appreaciate the list of services a CSD should offer and will use them as a guide to develop a CSD to high school students in my district.
I've learned that we need to provide specific resources to assist students with creating a resume, as well as cover letter, and strengthen our career readiness plan.
