We have been building a strong relationship with all our industry partners. Our partners help us identify new skills or equipment, which will push our students to be better candidates for entry-level positions. It is important to have a strong relationship with as many industry partners as possible.
Although we do not have any alumni on our advisory board currently, I think it would benefit our program to get feedback from these individuals regarding which items in the curricula were beneficial toward the goal of job acquisition and which parts of the curriculum need revision to be more effective tools in the workplace.
Our program is fortunate to have 1 alumnus on our advisory board. We should reach out to other alumni who are in the industry and utilize their knowledge and experience.
Having a strong advisory board including various members helps programs outcomes tremendoulsy.
Collaboration and connection with community parters, program advisory boards, faculty, career advisors, administration, and alumni are all important factors to promote employment/employer networking to increase employment opportunities for students.
This section of the course is a great reminder as to why it is so important and beneficial to collaborate with Alumni and community partners. It expands your employer network that much more for students seeking jobs.
It is very important to engage with your alumni and community. It's very imporatnt to attend your community partners events and show them appreciation for hiring our alumni.
I agree being involved in community networking is important. I also believe in showing appreciation to the employers whom have hired our students and participated in Professional Advisory Committee Meetings.
Being involved in community networking organizations makes the hiring process so much easier. I attend a monthly Director of Nursing meeting that generates a lot of questions and frequently students and graduates are hired because of this.
