I've learned that community involvement helps strengthen the career services department and what it can offer with regards to opportunities. Also, the earlier careers services begins working with students, the better the possible outcome.

I've learned how important it is to have a successful career department, especially at a trade school. It requires close work with other departments and not only assists students with jobs but helps build lifelong skills that will assist them throughout their professional career. A clear and consise mission statement drives the services and goals of the department and allows us to hold ourselves accountable if we are not meeting a commitment we have made to the student body.
