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.

Describe the organizational structure at your institution.

Working with the staff allows a new employee to see what jobs are handled by different people in different departments. There will always be some employees that are more approachable than others for help. I think the graph provided in this training for "Placement and Career Services" would be very helpful for overall references at an institution. The type of service and some details and the contact person or resource to obtain answers. This graph could be created for all aspects of the agents' function at a school.
