<p>I have learned that you can reach out to the community to build relationships with that will not only help with employment opportunities for students and alumni but also help them overcome employment barriers wherein these companies could provide guest speakers and seminars on interviewing, and work place readiness. I have also been reminded of the importance of early intervention with students wherin it is critical to build strong and trusting relationships with students from their first day of class until post graduation. I intend to not only meet with students in the classroom in the beginning and end of each semester but also find creative ways to have students participate in school functions throughout the semester such as peer tutoring and help create and market necessary seminars for each program.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
