I really like the idea of a communication checklist for when a client gets a job. Usually, I just discuss with my client at their next appointment how their job is going and if they have any concerns. But I think putting together a checklist before they start the job and going over things together about the job is a great idea that I intend to create.

I enjoyed reading the section on "things to consider mentioning about each candidate you send". I feel like I'll be using some of things they mentioned such as the potential misconceptions part and red flags. 

How many states have laws requiring background/fingerprinting of Stakeholders for WBL activities such as job shadows, pre-apprenticeships, internships?

I learned when it's best to leave a message when calling a business. I've always just left a voicemail no matter what when trying to connect with an employer/business, but after reading through the reasons to leave one and not to leave one. I have a better understanding on times when leaving a voicemail might not be the best course of action.

The part that stuck out to me the most was the "know your industries" section. I sometimes forget how important it is to do some research not just on the jobs itself but on the local businesses before engaging in job development.

I found this section of the course to be very informative as it shares a new light and perspective on the side of Higher Education and it's relationship with the ever changing job market. 

I have learned that sustaining and scaling the impact of career services involves building long-term capacity by integrating services into culture, building partnerships, and securing resources. 

Effective career services serve as a link connecting education and the workforce by addressing the needs of both learners and employers.  These services prepare learners with skills for career transition and act as a talent pipeline connecting employers with skilled students.
