Hats off to the National Association of Colleges and Employers. This is the association of the College Career Services organization known on every College campus as the place to find jobs. Traditionally the group is responsible for attracting employers career fairs on campus helping students find jobs and companies quality talent. The fairs go on today and serve a purpose but as we all recognize with the Internet and compeition for talent and jobs, the companies are seeking out talent and the talent jobs through more efficient and reliable channels on the internet.
Recently, a friend responsible for the CSO at a major University and a member of NACE called with a proposal to describe what the future interaction and relationship would be between student and employer in 2017 and the role the CSO would play.
After writing the first paragraph describing the future it was apparent that ten years was too far out. The CSO world could dramatically change over the next three years, if not sooner.
So, would like your help with the following question. We will post our description of the future soon. In the meantime let us know your thoughts.
“As we look ahead to the world in 2017, how do you envision college students and graduates interacting and connecting with employers? Describe the players involved and the tools and processes that will be used. Specifically describe the roles that professionals in higher education and in employing organizations will play in this process.”
Interesting start to envisioning a needed change.
