Description
Increase your student engagement in career implementation programs by 70% by re-packaging your current services! The University of Wisconsin Oshkosh has analyzed our best practices through consultation with national employers like Target, Kimberly Clark, Kohler, and Enterprise Rent-A-Car who seek our graduates. These employers shared with our institution that student awareness of the skills required during the application and recruiting process will make students more marketable. Our program research from working with over 350 companies and organizations on a very regular basis each semester, confirmed that students need to be more prepared and professional in presenting themselves to prospective employers. Our Professional Skills Program was initiated in summer 2006 with the College of Business and has gained support throughout campus. While creating this program, the key skills/qualities as defined by NACE, assisted in the development of our assessment tools in collecting campus data. Sharing this data and coordinating career events for employers to participate in, has earned campus support in addressing the development of our student's skills.
