 En una universidad es clave para conectar a estudiantes y egresados con el mundo laboral. Facilita la transición de los estudiantes al mercado de trabajo, colabora con empresas para ofrecer prácticas profesionales, pasantías y empleos.

I have learned that having an organized and clearly defined Career Services department benefits the entire institution including admissions, current students, alumni, community partners, etc.  A Career Services department needs to have tools and resources in place so that students can have information and know how to be successful once they complete their training.  

at this module I learned that Career Service department impact the entire institution. Students, Graduates, alumni's, employers and Admission department, all of them benefit from work of CS. The Career Services Department and/or library need to have many publications to assist students with developing job search skills and confidence. When setting up or revamping your Career Services Department, it is important to start with a mission statement. The mission statement will help everyone in your institution understand the purpose and goals of the department.

I learned the many different ways in which career services can help students as well as what the main goal is: to help students become successful. We don't just provide information to satisfy, we ensure that our students are being trained properly, have all of the information they need, and become the employees every company desires to have.

I have learned just how vital the career services department is for the success of our students. Its imperative that our department have a clear and well thought-out foundation and are implementing tools and resources that will allow our students to find and qualify for the career they deserve upon graduating.

I learned the importance of crafting a missions statement.

The importance of staffing your career services department and including the resources needed to achieve success for your students.

Being able to provide the most up to date info to our students is what make our department so strong. Being able to strive all type of duties that will make our job helpful & motivated to the students looking for work. 

During this Module I learned with is is critical to have a well defined Mission Statement for your institution. This step will help with and be a determining factor in creating the rest of the department. You can refer back to the mission statement you've created in order to see at that you are developing a department that is constantly meeting that mission statement. 

Career Services truly is one of the most important departments in any career-oriented college or post-secondary institution. Developing a coherent and achievable Mission Statement sets a foundation upon which Career Services can then help students and graduates achieve their career goals. The success of any Career Services Department rests almost entirely on the leadership of the department and of the institution. When those entities are in lock-step in messaging, focus and executing the core mission of the school, the students and graduates will ultimately find success in their respective fields of study. Essential to building a bridge from Admissions to graduation is messaging. It is critical that students understand the vital role that Career Services plays in their future success and the messaging they receive from faculty, administration and staff should echo that of Career Services from the beginning of their program to the successful completion: Career Services is your partner in navigating your career path and needs your cooperation and participation to achieve a mutually beneficial outcome. Creating a welcoming space for students and graduates on the campus for Career Services activities, meetings, resume building, job searches, mock interviewing, and networking events is key to student success. Making industry data on career opportunities available, along with relevant current publications, provides important resources for students throughout their programs so that they are prepared to begin actively applying for positions in their field of study before they even graduate. Lastly, it cannot be overemphasized, or overstated just how important networking is to career growth, advancement, professional development and connectivity. Joining an association, club, professional organization and/or group that is centered on keeping pace with industry trends, information, collaborative networking and other relevant efforts and purposes, is probably the single most important investment in time that the student/graduate will make second only to that of enrolling in your institution. 

That Career Services is the backbone of the entire institution. Without a properly planned and laid out Career Services Department the entire institution could fail. By working with my team or department to carefully do our research and understand how all departs function and what role they play. Will help better educate and pass that knowledge on to other potential students, current students, or faculty so they are able to get what they may need. 

I learned developing a mission statement, keeping summary info about the industries in which we train, the school and students getting involved in professional associations, and keeping current publications regarding career services are all important pieces of a great Career Services department.  I am reorganizing our department, and this got me thinking.  

I learned the crucial role of Career Services Department plays in foresting cohesion and support within the institution. I will intend to apply what I have learned, improving service performance every day, in order to help students achieve successes.

I learned that it is important to understand the mission statement of the institution in order to ensure proper focus for the students and their careers. I also learned that all departments depend on and must work with one another in order to guarantee success for the institution and the students.

I have learned that it is crucial that our Career Services department must have a mission statement in order to have a unified and strong team.  

Great insights on not just the purpose of; but also the many working components of career services.
