about us

Memberships and Associations

Students and Alumni The focus of our service is predominantly for EIU students and alumni. When compared to service benchmarks available through NACE Career Services Surveys (2013), the EIU Career Services programs for student and alumni clientele are comprehensive and reflect an activity level found more at major U.S. research universities rather than the activity level found at a regional university.

Our philosophy of responsiveness to a changing and global society is the defining characteristic of EIU Career Services. Well before it was popular, EIU Career Services recognized the impact of the cost of college, longer matriculation rates, and challenging economic conditions upon the well-being of our students and alumni. In response to those trends, early development programs were implemented over the past decade. We engage students beginning with their first days on campus and address their professional development from a holistic human perspective. For our alumni, we have extended the length of our active outreach to young alumni to support their transition from college into a competitive and confusing labor market. In additon, we have provided greater support to alumni who are transitioning in the workplace.

Employers Employer services include the standard recruiting options but with greater flexibility and service. We understand that employers are impeded by rigid protocols as they recruit on various campuses. In contrast, we help employers find campus partners for their outreach activities and consult with employers on effective strategies and/or timing that will deliver qualified candidates worthy of their recruiting time and budgets.

what we do

our qualifications Our services consist of specialized professional practices based on evidence based programs. Our professionals are not advice givers, but rather counselors and facilitators who focus on the holistic development of the individual within their environmental context. We maintain membership in the American Counseling Association and the National Career Development Association to stay abreast of counseling issues and practices. To address programming issues, recruiting trends, university issues, and labor market information, we maintain memberships in the National Association of Colleges and Employers and the Society of Human Resources Management.

Campus and Public Career Services believes that WE ARE EIU and supports many campus endeavors ranging from new student recruitment, new student programming, academic accreditation, quantitative and qualitative feedback for academic program development, support for student groups and linking promising young alumni to our Institutional Advancement programs. Additionally, Career Services acts as a regional resource for middle and high schools, professional associations, and businesses.

EIU graduates were successful in obtaining professional positions or acceptance to graduate school during the 2013-2014 academic year in an improving labor market.

Eighty-seven percent of EIU undergraduates made plans to attend graduate school or secured employment in professional positions by December 31, 2014. Career outcome data standards and collection procedures established by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) were followed.

In lieu of the term “placement rate,” these standards instead focus on the notion of a “career outcomes rate.” This is decribed as the percentage of graduates who fall into the following categories: • Employed full time• Employed part time• Participating in a program of voluntary service• Serving in the U.S. Armed Forces• Enrolled in a program of continuing education

Our career outcome data is not a measurement of academic program quality, but rather is an indicator of the success of a cohort of students in successfully transitioning from college.

32014 Annual Report

executive summary

Data reflecting student, alumni and employer usage of EIU Career Services during the previous academic year is analyzed each fall semester. Employer ratings about service quality and candidate preparedness are gathered throughout the year by surveying each employer during each campus recruiting event.

Student and alumni data is collected throughout the year, particularly through surveys at graduation, periodic phone and email surveys. Each student who did not indicate employment upon graduation receives at least one email survey and one phone call in order to solicit employment data as well as to offer further job search assistance. Additionally, faculty or academic department documentation of student employment is solicited by Career Services and used in our job placement data.

For career outcomes data, the National Association of Collges and Employers (NACE) standards for each data set was followed for this report.

Report Methodology

Student/Alumni Appointments

EIU students and alumni are eligible for free career and professional development counseling that is customized to their individual goals, career demands, environmental factors, personal histories and skill levels.

To deliver the specialized career guidance for our diverse client base, counselors focus on holistic counseling for students or alumni within each college, as well as providing some career advising and programming. Our Career Advisors specialize in either a service area such as job shadowing or perform advising for students and alumni on non-confidential topics such as resume writing, professional attire, and how to prepare for a job fair.

Appointments typically occur in the office; however counselors and advisors are able to provide some non-confidential services, such as job correspondence reviews, online. Both confidential and non-confidential services are increasing in prevalence by telephone and online appointments.

Resume Assistance was the principle reason for users to seek assistance from Career Services. Most resume advising was for conversion of generic resumes developed in class or through online guidance into the highly specialized personal advertisements that are required for successful application in today’s job market.

The second most popular service was the Career Assessment. Concerns about getting the most value from a college degree, career transitions by alumni, identification of personally satisfying careers were the main reasons our clients sought assessment.

Career Counseling was the third most popular service that clients requested. Career Counseling involves analyzing specific career specialties that are achievable given each person’s assets and liabilities, ongoing intervention to address personal deficits that could impede achievement of career goals and exploration of the thoughts and feelings associated with the process of self-exploration, career identification and job application.
