Myhisha,
Can you provide a bit more background on your institution? Is it regionally accredited? If so, and not required to meet established graduate employment rates, what are the internal benchmarks established as goals? I only ask this question to gain a bit more background on your bottom-line goals (such as an established employment rate) or other metrics to which you are measured such as Net Promoter Scores (graduate/employer satisfaction), student satisfaction, etc.
To clarify, can you explain how long your institution has been operating without a Career Services function, what prompted the development of this role (if never existed before), and what other resources you have available? For instance, if you are the only staff member, do you have any student/graduate self-help resources in place, do you use a CSM software platform to track data and your activities and do you have plans to hire additional staff? If so, what roles have been identified for work distribution?
If you can paint a clearer picture, I think it might help others provide more thoughtful/helpful responses to your very important question.
