Ask a question from your peers to help you in your professional work. Seek different points of view on a topic that interests you. Start a thought-provoking conversation about a hot, current topic. Encourage your peers to join you in the discussion, and feel free to facilitate the discussion.

Common Barriers

It looks as though we've identified some common barriers that exists for non-traditional students. Some of those mentioned are: transportation, child care and family issues. What are some best practices that you've employed to help mitigate these barriers for your graduates?

Licensure and career services

All of our graduates require state or national license before they can become employed in the field. Most graduates of our College actually open their own business upon receiving this license. As part of our career services offered, I believe that it would be beneficial to incorporate more business management practices - thereby helping our graduates become more successful in their professional lives after they graduate.

Career Services Department - Overview

I found, in this module, it very interesting that each department (including the career services) functions best with it's own department mission. At our College, we have one overall mission for the College, and not individual missions for each department. I can see the benefit from establishing departmental missions leading towards the overall mission of the College.

best way to get on contact with inactive grads...

one of the ways that I contact inactive grads is by just texting them by saying "hello John and good afternoon. how is it going?" and just wait for their reply of "good. who is this?" thats i have been calling the right number(since most of the time their voice mail is not set-up of their you will only hear the machine and not them stating their name). So try to set up a google voice/text number!

Assist them as best as you can and inform them not to leave their current job.

Institution Provides..

One of the services my institution provides for the students is externship program where a potential employer will have more time to evaluate the student skills and by the same token the student will have a chance to see if the site is a potential place for employment.

Veronica Roldan

Career Services Involment

Career Services should be a part of all decision making at the institution particularly in the admission department both of these department are the front and back end of students outcome.

Veronica Roldan

Institution Involment

When it comes to graduate outcome I am 100% sure that everyone in the institution needs to be working together for a positive outcome.

Veronica Roldan

Barriers when it comes to employment

In addition to the already existing barriers some additonal that I find in graduates is the barrier that the graduate uses against him/her for intance the lack of transportation should not be used by graduates a barrier to find employment on the contrary it is a challange but it should not be a problem.
