Hi Harrison
Sounds like you have great plans in place. Career services begins with orientation. That's great. I always think more can be done to integrate career services into the day to day. Of course it is a challenge. Instructors want the time to teach skills and theory in the timeframe given. Students are racing against time to study and meet deadlines. Not a receptive group to add more placement assignments. On the other hand, I think that if students are continually made aware of why they are in school, then retention will increase. If students complete employment and job readiness skills a little at a time, it reduces the frenzy near graduation time. And they are ready for the first interview even before graduation.
You're doing great.
Susan
