Overview:
Career services are an increasingly popular way to engage alumni, yet many institutions do not have adequate resources to provide one-on-one career counseling. When financial and personnel resources are limited, career service events provide an excellent means to economically reach large numbers of alumni.
By working with companies, your professional alumni, and campus partners to provide career events, you can reach more alumni with relevant and timely resources - our presenters from USC Alumni Career Services have seen a 378% increase in alumni attendance at their events in the last five years.
The Successful Alumni Career Service Events on-demand web conference will provide you with overviews of two popular types of alumni career service events: the corporate recruiting event and the educational panel event, and offer you tips on how you can move toward offering similar events at your institution.
Target Audience:
Alumni career service professionals will learn how to plan career service events and alleviate the demand for individualized services.
Alumni affairs professionals will learn how career events differ from traditional alumni events and how to use career services events to reach more alumni.
