Mary, Very comprehensive and thorough analysis of the importance of career services in every area of the school. Internship readiness does impact the office managing internships including Education. And yes, when students are constantly made aware of the job they are training for it does help to keep them in school. Alumni success stories are very important. And also encouraging instructors to continually talk about life on the job and how skills learned will be used in the workplace has to be done. It sounds like you have a good community outreach program too, where someone on your staff stays in constant communication with employers and potential employers. Great that you are also getting feedback about how work-ready grads are and making changes in what students learn so that the employer does not have to train them too. Talking with employers helps to anticipate future training needs.Financial aid can look to you to get students placed and also focused on loan repayment. And definitely career services makes a difference to the admissions department. We actually believe that career services MUST be part of the admissions tour. In fact, we think both offices should sit together. You have put together quite a document to ask for a raise! Thanks, Susan Dr. Susan Schulz
