I have learned that there are many things that need to be considered when setting up a Career Service Department (CSD). All stakeholders (CSD staff, teachers, students, alumni, representatives from business and industry) must work together to create a mission, purpose, and goals of the CSD. Stakeholders should determine what services will be offered. Services must be updated and promoted to ensure the CSD benefits students, alumni, and employeers. The information obtained in this portion of the class will be used to begin discussion of developeing a CSD at the high school level.
