Employment Search
It is rewarding for both School staff and student to be able to be place in the correct field of study; therefore school staff should assist and direct student by issuing employment guides and placing a follow up courtesy call.
Kincie,
Career services should actually be working with the students from the time they start classes. The ultimate goal is to find a position in their career field and we need to start working on it from day one.

Workshops in Career Services in great tools for building employability skills.

We cannot guarantee employment. However, we can provide the best possible assistance in resume writing, finding job interviews, etc.

Helping students with employment is good however school have to be careful not to guaranty employment because it no ethical.
michael,
Student should always will be looking for the end when they start. Their goal is to achieve a job after graduation. Looking for that job from day one certainly prepares the students for that day when it comes.

Even more, part of the curriculum should include training on how to look for jobs, as well as how to market yourself so that you're attractive to potential employers.
Often, programs are designed to teach "book knowledge", but then leave it to the students to figure out how to find an employer who really values what they have to offer.
I find that a more holistic approach increases the chances of students' success.

It is important clearly define the job placement assistance program.
We have a student services coordinator that does a great job in finding strategic partners for job placement partners for our students once they become certified through our programs.
We have an employment assistance coordinator who works with several local businesses as well as the state Worksource department to help find jobs for recent grads. We also help with resume writing.

Job fairs benefit the student, the school, and the community. They are great opportunities for all involved.
