I'm also at a for-profit college, only in much colder upstate NY, so I completely understand the importance of placement. We have two campuses, with a Career Services Coordinator at each one and we have implemented an assistant role within each office, which is nice. It sounds like we're doing similar things with classroom visits, etc.
Since starting in career services, I've started making suggestions and changes to things that, I saw as an instructor previously, needed to be either updated or eliminated. My big goal for the upcoming year is to implement a separate workshop series outside of the classroom to really focus on things like professional branding, resumes, people skills, interviewing, etc. Teaching our current career placement seminar doesn't allow much time to really dive into these areas, as the class is only an hour once a week.
I'm looking forward to networking and collaborating with you! My work email is pmorse@ebi.edu
