Josephine,
Yes, we agree that everyone on staff has a role in the student successfully getting placed. And everyone on staff certainly needs to be trained about the services offered by Career Services. This shows that Career Services is not the "last stop" but rather training that goes on from enrollment and throughout the classroom experience. You are right that constant involvement with students and their goals helps to identify possible challenges. A student might simply be enrolled in the wrong program. Before the individual drops out it may be possible to transfer him/her to a program that better meets needs. This takes ongoing involvement. As to involvement of admissions staff, we often recommend that admissions and career services sit in the same office. The reality is that prospective students really want to know about the jobs they will get. Thanks, Susan
