Overview
Many college advising units and career centers support students separately or with limited collaboration. This approach leads to inconsistent messaging, over-messaging and competition for students’ attention. Creating a strong partnership between advising and career services that begins when students attend orientation provides a strongly supportive environment that improves students’ access to services and simplifies such processes as deciding and declaring a major.
In this webinar, you will explore a collaboration model through the lens of an effective case study. Florida Atlantic University’s partnership has yielded success data showing increased first-year student use of career services, fewer second-year students with undeclared majors, higher service satisfaction rates and high job placement rates related to early engagement resulting from this critical campus partnership.
This interactive webinar will help attendees:
Consider how positive collaboration drives student success and increases customer services
Explore a partnership assessment model to help you evaluate your current partnership stage and determine your goal stage
Walk through steps to develop or improve a partnership following the case study of FAU
Learn how to positively collaborate between advising and career services without being in the same division or under the same reporting structure
Look at key elements to a successful partnership and potential challenges
