In Retrospect • World Class Customer Service • The Curse of Adjunct Faculty • At-Risk Students: Not Everyone Can Attend Provo College/Total Enrollment • Selective Hiring: Not Everyone Can Teach On Our Campus • Does It Have The “Look, Sound, & Feel”? • Effective vs. Efficient Student Advising • Career Services: Keystone For Student Success
Career Services has been relocated to its rightful place of distinction as the keystone in our schools.
Mission of Career Services: Where Do We Begin? Student Centered Job Centered
Mission of Career Services Has Been Redefined and Expanded • Start, completion, placement • Value, merit, worth • The job is too big for one: Director and Coordinator • Mentor, model, and motivate • Individualized strategic plan of action • Daily accountability through the creation of “stand-up meetings” • Establish measurable standards • “Look, Sound, & Feel” of the Marketplace - externships/internships and job placement • Cultivate good citizenship: Foster community involvement and service

Visualization Placement vs. Nurturing: What is our Vision?
Visualization: An Awakening to Current Reality • Narrow View: Career Services’ value is only towards the end of a student’s journey. • Panoramic View: Career Services’ mentoring is essential from the moment the student walks onto campus until job placement is achieved following graduation.
Career Services’ accountability does not only come when the graduates are placed in jobs within their fields of study. Ongoing accountability is the principle which influences Career Services on how they begin their involvement with a pre-start student.
