I appreciated reading about the CIP model and the modalities employed to maximize strategies to student need. In addition, the summative 3-tiered breakdown of aligning level of advisor/resources assistance to student needs was clear & consise, i.e. level of employability skills and barriers to employment. I like this overall approach when pondering "who needs how much of what"! This model makes it is easier to decide.

I love this section that emphasizes building long-lasting relationships and trust thru steady, consistant, collaborative efforts that benefit all stakeholders! Partnering with community organizations, beyond potential employers, solidifies the educational institution's perception by the community it serves & establishes a multi-pronged approach to "give-back". In addition, partnering with Alumni to promote their own stories, speaks volumes about the integrity of the graduate's experience & willingness to assist, a student who is coming up behind them. Their words are hugely powerful and make lasting impressions on upcoming graduates.

This module is full of reaffirming information that supports a Career Services department's mission, specifically, that it is incumbant on every staff & faculty member to understand their role with job placement outcomes. I also appreciated the breakdown of the multitude of barriers at play when assisting a student with job support services.
