I think the most important thing to do when building relationships with businesses and people is to learn about them. Find out what makes them successful and tailor your message to them.
My takeaways are enageing the employer by hosting luncheon and or breakfast and have them acknowledged for time and input they provide. Remember that every process should be about what is in for the employer? Ask for their feedback, gain their trust, understand their needs and collaborate.
My takeaway from this module is the importance of recognizing our industry partners/employers. I love the idea of hosting an annual THANK YOU luncheon, and recognizing their efforts with awards - even sending thank you notes or swag items can be a great gesture. I also think it's important to highlight these success stories with industry partners/students in the institution's newsletter, and sharing that with the industry partner.
I really like the idea of handing out swag to employment partners. I plan on doing this!
Great additional info about employment engagement and partnerships
Great additional info about how to engage and partner with employers currently and in the future.
I also like the idea of employer engagement solutions. These are good reminders when working with potential employers.
I really enjoyed reading about the Employer Engagement Solutions: Inspire and Motivate, Innovate and tailor, understand an employer needs and build knowledge, and collaborate.
