<p>I learned the importance of setting up a Career Services Center is essential to the university&rsquo;s success and brand. Creating and implementing a mission statement needs to be done first not during the setup of the department. Setting up and building a strong team is key. Also joining association and or having memberships are important in building the reputation of the department. Keeping student, staff and graduates informed regarding the services that Career Services provide will have a favorable outcome for all. Employers need to see our institution as a source for fulfilling their employment needs.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
