Career Services at BRCC: Partnering With Faculty
A very important value at BRCC is student success. One measure of
student success is meaningful employment related to the student’s
education. By working together, faculty and career services can ensure
the transition from student to a member of the work force is as seamless
as possible.
Think of the path our students take to their professional career as a
camping trip. Our faculty does an outstanding job of "filling the
students' backpacks" with the knowledge and practical skills they need
to thrive once they reach their destination. Career services works with
students to provide the maps and compasses, and serve as guides for
students conducting their career exploration.
How can I help? I will strive to:
Help your students find the right fit—I can help students
determine the right career for their interests, career goals, skills,
and values. During their academic careers, students return to career
services to develop essential job-search skills and to learn about job
outlook, salary, and employment trend information. Please feel free to
refer students to me to access these services.
Connect to employers who want to recruit our students— I work
directly with employers and provide ways employers can post job openings
or recruit on- campus. Sometimes employers often ask for the contact
information of faculty members who could help them to target students in
a particular major or discipline. Ideally, employers would like to
develop mutually beneficial relationships with faculty, and can provide
many forms of support. We can facilitate that connection. We also have
resources to help faculty understand their ethical responsibilities
toward students. (See the
Faculty Guide for further information.)
Bring the information to your class—I will conduct
presentations to upcoming graduates about job search strategies. Contact
me to set up a time.
Assist in identifying quality experiential education
opportunities— Experiential education is
such an important part of your students' overall educational experience.
Just ask any employer. Through our network of employers, we can help
your students identify internship opportunities that will best serve
them in their academic and professional pursuits.
