It is important to train the students well, which is our most important goal.  We want the best graduates from our school as possible.  We want our students to succeed and want them to be sought out by local employers prior to graduation so that they can meet their career goals.  Our school is new and have entered this role fairly recently.  These modules have helped me learn more about what I need to do to help our students succeed.

Career Services is one of the most important roles in any educational facility. Students enroll with the desire for a good job after graduation. I love learning how we can improve and utilize Career Services in almost every department.

Confronting contradictions involves examining and resolving inconsistencies between a person’s statements, actions, or beliefs. It can encourage critical thinking, helping people reconcile differences and make more informed, consistent career decisions.

 I’ve applied focusing techniques to guide people in prioritizing their core values and strengths, which often leads to more informed and purposeful decisions during job searches.

Well-formulated questions foster positive perspectives, help coachees explore their thoughts and feelings, and structure interactions that promote career development.

Career assistance is not about prescribing quick fixes but about empowering people to find their own path, and . It relies on strong relationships and a clear process to support meaningful, long-term impact.

Speak with all employers 1-2 times a week by phone or email. Look for jobs and post. 

I like how they focused on documentation being objective. Documentation should be informative and less subjective. You should go based on facts and stay away from being biased. 

There is a plethora of AI tools evolving to meet career support needs. Discernment, education, and focus are necessary in applying these technologies in an ethical and beneficial way. 

This module detailed the ways AI can be used to streamline career assistance. I am already integrating AI into my process.
