Education, ISBN

This report looks closely at college offices of career
services highlighting developments in budgets, staffing, use
of student and alumni staff, cooperation with other offices of
the college, use of social media, trends in job fairs, and
much more.
The study provides useful benchmarking information on
fundraising, tracking of student outcomes, student buy in,
employment workshops and workshop attendance, internships,
career fairs, job boards and number of jobs listed on job
boards, number of employers conducting on campus interviews
and more. Data is broken out for public and private colleges,
by general Carnegie Class, enrollment, tuition level, and for
colleges with on or more than one office of career services.
The study gives an in-depth view of how American institutions
of higher education are helping their students and alumni find
jobs and prosper in a difficult job market.
Just a few of the 153-page report's many findings are
that:
- Research universities in the sample had one full time
career services employee per 1,740 students
- Over
the past two years the colleges in the sample have increased
mean career services staff size from 6.22 to 6.78 FTE
employees
- Private colleges spent 14.2% of career services staff
time on helping college alumni
- Nearly 82% of colleges sampled track the percentage of
recent graduates who have a job within a certain period after
graduation
- Only
6.82% of colleges surveyed track the employment situation of
recent graduates by the variable of their grade point
average
- Community colleges in the sample gave a median of 25
workshop sessions to students to improve their job seeking
skills
