Deborah, Hi Deborah - We totally agree that career services impacts every department in the school. Admissions counts on career services to learn about job openings, verified salary ranges, and referrals from happy grads. Education can learn about whether training is meeting the needs of the workplace. The fact that students feel confident about the job search does impact retention. Alumni also benefit from career services - especially if you provide assistance when they have lost their jobs or are seeking a career change. Thanks, Susan Dr. Susan Schulz
