Public

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. As a community of educators, all members of the Career Ed Lounge are empowered to act as a discussion facilitator to help us all learn from each other.

Importance of keeping track of graduates

It is important so you can continue communication with them, and continue to help them. Either finding a job or perhaps helping them with continuing education,or furthering their education.

Networking homework

I love the idea regarding the students going to area companies to network while still in school. This will also help them get over their jitters about starting a new career and what to expect.

Keeping graduates on the right path to employment.

Sometimes I have graduates that just don't follow the information they are given when searching for a job. :-( I bring them back in after their externship and update their resumes and discuss job searching, networking, etc. Any ideas regarding this would be greatly appreciated. :-)
