EVALUATION/ASSESSMENT
Career Services continues the implementation of a comprehensive assessment and evaluation program to analyze and evaluate the effectiveness of all career services, programs, and resources. Career Services staff members solicit feedback from constituents to gain a better understanding of their needs and satisfaction levels. Programs are revised, added, or eliminated based on feedback received. Below are brief summaries of the different components of the program:
ASSESSMENT PROGRAM COMPONENTS
1. Objectives and Outcomes In March/April of each year, Career Services staff members review the past year's programs, schedule programs for the upcoming Academic Year, and set objectives and outcomes. A complete schedule of programs/events and an Assessment Program is developed for the upcoming academic year.
2. Staff Evaluation As part of Career Services' assessment and evaluation program, staff members participate in an annual evaluation cycle of goal setting and evaluation: -March/April: Develop Individual and Department Objectives and Outcomes -April/May: Annual Performance Evaluation (A&P)
3. Staff Accountability and Record-Keeping Staff members maintain a number of record-keeping logs to track their travel, long distance phone calls, job development, site visitation, and liaison activity. Within 48 hours of conducting an outreach presentation, staff members complete and submit a "Career Program Summary" providing statistical data for career programs. This information is compiled in a spread sheet for the annual report. This form also provides a means for doing a cost-benefit analysis. This report provides data regarding dates and times, type of program, requestor, and a brief cost breakdown for the program.
4. Budget Development In March/April of each year, Career Services staff members create a tentative calendar of programs and events and develop a budget to cover the costs of all programs. Program summaries and evaluations are considered at this time.
5. Annual Report Compiled in June of each year, the Annual Report provides both narrative and graphical descriptions of Career Services' programs and activities for the Academic Year. The annual report also provides a statistical analysis of student and employer contacts throughout the year.
6. Staff Meetings/Minutes Career Services staff members meet the last Wednesday of each month from 8:30 a.m.-10:00 a.m. to discuss upcoming programs, services, policies and procedures, and other issues and concerns regarding all aspects of day-to-day operation. Minutes are compiled and distributed to staff by noon, Wednesday of each week to document achievement of objectives and outcomes.
18 | P a g e
ASSESSMENT PROGRAM: SOURCES OF CONSTITUENT FEEDBACK/INPUT
1. Online Comment Cards (Students and Alumni) Our front office staff members ask students who come into Career Services to take a few minutes to complete an online comment card and provide feedback about on their visit and the level of satisfaction with services.
2. Follow-up Survey- (Students) In April of each year, Career Services sends a follow-up survey to all students who registered with Career Services to get their feedback about our services, programs and resources.
3. On-campus Recruiting Programs-(Employers) Employers who recruit on our campus are asked to complete an evaluation at the end of the day.
4. Program Evaluations- (Students and Employers) Career Services has created a standard evaluation form that is used at all major career programs and workshops. These evaluations ask participants (students and employers) to comment on the program and their level of satisfaction with the program. A Program Summary is developed and written based on program registration and evaluation for all major programs: Fall Osprey Career Fair (September) Fall CCEC Employer Showcase (October) Pre-Law Day (October) Graduate and Professional School Day (October) Physical Therapy Job Fair (November) Spring Osprey Career Fair (January) Spring CCEC Employer Showcase (February) Public Service and Government Internship Fair Health Career Fair Volunteer Fair Spring Education Job Fair (April) UNF Majors and Minors Fair (April) UNF Alumni Job Fair (May)
5. Internship/Cooperative Education Program Evaluations- (Students and Employers) The Cooperative Education and Internship Program uses a number of evaluations for both individual student work performance and to assess the program. Forms include: Student Work Period Reports, Employer Evaluations, and Co-Op Orientation Evaluation Forms.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS
One of the biggest changes has been the creation of a series of performance metrics for the state universities. Two of these metrics have a direct connection to Career Services: the placement rate of UNF graduates after one year, and their salary level. The University will receive funding based on how well the University meets the metrics. These metrics will put a much stronger focus on the placement services that we offer to our students: resume and cover letter writing, interviewing, networking, and job hunting.
Students who wait until their senior year to start thinking about finding a job will definitely be at a disadvantage in this very competitive job market. It is important for students to start career planning as early as their freshman year and continue this process through all four years at UNF. Getting experience through internships and other experiential learning programs that complements their education and helps them to develop skills that will help make them marketable to employers. Outreach and marketing will be a very important component for Career Services to develop a comprehensive outreach program to all UNF students to encourage them to utilize our services, programs and resources. Career Services has requested a new position that will create and implement the marketing and outreach program.
Highlighting first-year career development experiences will also be critical in this process. The Career Discoveries Team headed by Associate Director, Vivian Senior, will develop and implement a comprehensive first-year experience career development program with strong focus on programs and services for freshmen to engage them in the career development process early in their UNF career. We will also expand our programs and services for sophomores and undecided or undeclared majors.
Career Services continues to develop and expand our wide range of career services, programs and resources through partnerships with each of the UNF Colleges. By having Career Coordinators in each college, Career Services has been able to reach more students and connect with more faculty and ultimately engage more students in their own career development. Staff members assigned as liaisons to these areas contact individual faculty members, speak to departments, meet with student groups, and conduct career presentations in classrooms. Each liaison is responsible for developing outreach and marketing strategies to heighten awareness about Career Services in their areas. In the 2014/2015 Academic Year we hope to continue to develop these working relationships and increase student and employer participation in all career programs.
Career Services has partnered with the College of Arts and Sciences (COAS) to increase internship opportunities and to encourage students to gain valuable experience in their field. Career Services Employer Relations Coordinator, Brooke Hammon, has been doing extensive outreach to the Jacksonville community to seek out and develop internship sites for COAS students. For the 2013-14 Academic Year, Career Services will continue to focus on the development of internships for COAS Academic Departments and students.
Career Services staff members will continue to focus on providing excellent customer services.

FUTURE CHALLENGES
Communication with all constituents on large university campus such as UNF continues to be a major challenge for Career Services. Many students tell us that “they didn’t know Career Services was here” or they “weren’t sure how they could help me.” It will be important to continually reach out to all constituents to keep them informed about Career Services and to motivate them to become engaged in their own career development. Getting the new position to develop a comprehensive marketing and outreach program will be critical for increasing student participation at all job fairs and career counseling services.
In order to meet the metrics that were developed by the State, it will be very important to focus a lot of our time and energy on the College of Arts and Sciences. Although internships are being added to most of the COAS programs, they are still optional and many students don’t yet see the value in doing an internship. We have our work cut out for us to encourage COAS students in all majors to consider participating in internship programs to gain valuable experience and to develop important job related skills. Increasing our COAS Career Coordinator’s hours from 28 to 40 hours per week will help us to focus the attention of COAS students and faculty on the importance of internships.
The 2014/2015 Academic Year should continue to see positive increases in terms of employer participation and employment opportunities for our students. We have already seen some increases in employer activity from the previous year and all signs are pointing to a continuing economic recovery. We hope this will translate into increased participation by employers at all of our major job fairs. We also hope that we will see large increases in the numbers of jobs being posted in Career Wings. This all translates into more job and career opportunities for UNF students.
Although the economy continues to improve, University budgets still have not changed much and we continue to “do more with less.” Our dedicated staff members have accomplished much with limited resources and we hope that we will see additional funding and resources to help us expand our career services and programs.

University of North Florida Career Services Goals and Objectives 2013-2014
Career Services Mission Statement: Career Services teaches students essential skills and encourages personal responsibility to explore and achieve career goals. Students are empowered to engage in self-assessment, career exploration, and job preparation. Additionally, Career Services develops and maintains relationships with a diversity of employers to provide networking and job opportunities for students and alumni.
Department Goal #1: Develop and implement a comprehensive First Year Experience career development program titled “Career Discoveries”. University Goal # 1: Cultivate a learning environment that supports intellectual curiosity, academic achievement, and personal growth. University Goal # 5: Secure fiscal, physical, and technological resources aligned with the University's mission and values. Division Goal # 1: Enhance and cultivate an environment that encompasses body, mind and spirit pedagogy (holistic development) in which our University community ensures optimal student learning.
Action 1: Offer customized career counseling and assessment services to assist with major selection and career exploration. (Timeline: July 2013-June 2014). Persons Responsible: Associate Director and Career Counselor. Career Counselors continue to offer effective career counseling and assessment services. Our team is trained to meet students where they are and each student is provided with a personalized action plan indicating the next best step to career planning success. We have maintained our use of premiere formal assessments such as the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and Strong Interest Inventory. We also recently upgraded to a different informal option, FOCUS 2, to accommodate students who may not be able to afford the fee for the formal assessments. Two Graduate Clinical Mental Health Counseling Interns were also added to our team and trained as Career Counselors. Action 2: Modify scheduling process to accommodate students visiting for career counseling appointments. (Timeline: July 2013 – June 2014). Persons Responsible: Associate Director and Support Staff. Career Counselors regularly adjusted schedules to accommodate student requests. However, during the peak seasons, we deliberately converted to a walk-in model offering 30 minute slots, on the spot, to accommodate as many students as possible. Action 3: Plan and implement career discoveries programming (Timeline: July 2013 – June 2014). Persons Responsible: Associate Director, Career Counselor, and Support Staff. Planned and implemented various new programs during the Fall Semester. A two-part workshop series was offered titled, “How to Choose A Major: It’s Not What You Think” and “Got a Major: Now What?”. Another new program is a collaborative venture with the Office of Parent and Family programs titled, “The Inside Scoop”. This panel presentation allowed students to gain tips and insight from professionals who chose liberal arts majors. Three of the four panelists were UNF parents who interacted with over 50 students. In partnership with the program director of the Bachelor of Social Work (BS) program, an information session was held to provide students with program and career information. Additionally, two informal career workshops were added for the Intercultural Center for Peace. These included topics on using social media to explore careers and top companies and careers for minorities. Three workshops on exploring careers with any major were given at the Veteran Star event. Action 4: Implement the Career Connections Program connecting students with professionals in various fields for in depth career exploration. The Career Connections Program is fully operational. We currently have 201professionals, representing a diverse array of careers, who voluntarily registered to provide information interviews for students. We have been proactively marketing this resource to students. Students are required to participate in a brief orientation before gaining access to the database of professionals. 22 | P a g e
During this past year, we conducted 34 orientations for 258 students. Action 5: Enhance the delivery of career assessment workshops. (Timeline: July 2013 – June 2014). Persons Responsible: Associate Director and Career Counselor. Staff members qualified to interpret career assessments regularly research information and participate in professional development webinars to remain current with insight and knowledge shared with students. We facilitated 50 group interpretations for 1441 students. Action 6: Develop resources targeting Social Media/digital identity and the impact on career planning. (Timeline: July 2013 – June 2014). Persons Responsible: Associate Director, Career Counselor, Career Coordinator and Marketing Assistant. Select team members participated in a three series webinar targeted to helping students develop an effective digital identity. Insight gained is being reviewed for developing a quick tips sheet for students. A current Linkedin brochure was updated. This resource is provided to students to encourage development of their online professional profile. Additionally, two informal career workshops were added for the Intercultural Center for Peace. These included topics on using social media to explore careers and top companies and careers for minorities. The importance of maintaining a professional and appropriate digital identity was also emphasized during presentations at all new student and parent orientations. Action 7: Deliver interactive programming during student and parent orientations. (Timeline: July 2013- June2014). Persons Responsible: Associate Director and Career Counselor. Both the parent and the student presentations were enhanced and updated to provide an interactive environment for participants. In particular, we aimed to motivate freshman to meet with a career counselor, participate in Career Services programming and jumpstart the major selection or career planning process. We conducted 24 student orientations with over 2396 students in attendance and 14 parent orientations with over approximately 1829 in attendance. Action 8: Collaborate with staff in Housing & Residence Life to offer targeted programs and services for first year students. (Timeline: July 2013-June2014). Persons Responsible: Associate Director and Career Counselor. Meetings and follow-up emails were conducted with Residence Life staff to determine a good strategy for connecting with freshman residents. Our part-time Career Counselor facilitated 12 tabling events for “walk-up” career counseling related questions and interacted with 172 students. Action 9: Collaborate with the Academic Center for Excellence to offer the Majors & Minors Fair. Persons Responsible: Career Counselor. Collaborative communications via meetings, phone calls and emails were numerous and continuous with ACE staff to plan the 2014 Majors and Minors Fair. Action 10: Hire an OPS Career Advisor to assist with delivering programs and services. (Timeline: July 2013-June 2014). Person Responsible: Associate Director. A part-time Career Counselor, former graduate counseling intern, was hired to assist the Career Discoveries Unit. Action 11: Manage a team of Peer Advisors to assist with programming, marketing and outreach initiatives. (Timeline: July 2013-June 2014). Person Responsible: Career Counselor. Two Peer Advisors (work-study) were retained for the 2013-2014 academic year and two others were hired to support the Career Discoveries Unit. These student staff assisted students in the office, maintained the career library and promoted events at the Career Services table on Market Days. Additionally, a volunteer Peer Advisor was interviewed and hired to assist the returning two Peer Advisors. A fourth Peer Advisor was interviewed and hired for the Spring 2014 semester. Action 12: Maintain and update the Career Library. (Timeline: July 2013-June 2014). Person Responsible: Career Counselor. Outdated books were purged this year to make room for current versions and to add new categories. Over $3500 was allocated to purchase a wide array of resource guides, magazines and books which have been purchased and received to update the Career Library. These resources have been labeled and added to the library catalog for in-office use by students and professional staff. Action 13: Enhance career education materials and resources. (Timeline: July 2013-June2014). Persons Responsible: Associate Director and Career Counselor.
23 | P a g e
A Federal jobs binder was created that provides information on federal jobs by major, undergraduate internship and graduate internships. Additionally, two majors exploration binders were added that includes a list of handouts describing job titles and places of employment for a wide list of majors. These items were labeled and shelved in the career library as student references. After a discussion with the Director of the Disability Resource Center, a new category of resources were purchased for the career library to support our 690 students at UNF with ADHD and any other interested student. Additionally, career resources for our military and veteran students were purchased to support this growing population. With the addition of the Volunteer Center to Career Services recently, career library resources were added that provides information about not-for- profit careers and other service related occupations. Books for students interested in exploring various service projects around the world were also added.
Outcome 1: Students will learn effective strategies for choosing majors and identifying suitable career options. Outcome 2: Students will learn how to explore majors, careers and gain an understanding of occupational and employment trends. Outcome 3: Students will utilize Career Library resources to research potential careers. Outcome 4: Students will learn how to engage in effective career planning throughout their college career. Outcome 5: The number of students participating in career counseling services will increase. Outcome 6: The number of students participating in Career Discoveries programming will increase.
Evaluation 1: A follow-up survey will be given to students utilizing career counseling services. At least 75% of respondents should answer "Strongly Agree" or "Agree" when asked: “After using career counseling services I know how to make informed decisions when identifying and choosing a major or career path?” Career Services conducted a follow-up survey in April 2014 with all students and alumni registered in Career Wings. 78.04% Strongly Agreed or Agreed with this goal. Evaluation 2: A follow-up survey will be given to students participating in career exploration activities. At least 75% of respondents should answer "Strongly Agree" or "Agree" when asked: "Our goal was to teach you how to identify and explore suitable majors and career options. Did we meet this goal?" Career Services conducted a follow-up survey in April 2014 with all students and alumni registered in Career Wings. 78.65% Strongly Agreed or Agreed with this goal. Evaluation 3: A follow up survey will be sent to students registered in Career Wings, for those who indicated they utilized the Career Library, at least 75% will indicate: “Strongly Agree” or “Agree” when asked: "The goal of our Career Library is to provide resources needed to help you research potential career opportunities. Did we meet this goal?” Career Services conducted a follow-up survey in April 2014 with all students and alumni registered in Career Wings. 65.32% Strongly Agreed or Agreed with this goal. Evaluation 4: Evaluation forms will be given to students who attend career discoveries programming. At least 75% of respondents who attend should answer "Strongly Agree" or "Agree" when asked: Please rate whether you were able to “learn how to engage in effective career planning?” Majors & Minors Fair: 90% of students strongly agreed or agreed when asked if they were able to “learn more about career planning and exploration options and strategies?” The Inside Scoop: 98% strongly agreed or agreed that the event learn how to engage in effective career planning?” Evaluation 5: Calculate the number of students participating in career counseling services. We should see at least a 10% increase. We noticed an 11% decrease in students participating in individual appointments. We are currently developing and implementing marketing strategies to ensure that students are aware of this service and that key advising and other campus constituents refer students earlier in their first year. While the number of individual appointments decreased, we noticed an increase in student participation at programs as noted below.

Evaluation 6: Calculate the number of students participating in career development programming and events. We should see at least a 10% increase. We experienced a 24% increase in participants with career discoveries programming.
Continuous Improvement Career Services continues to focus on developing First-year career development experiences. Getting students to engage in their own career development process in their first-year will enable those students to plan their major, courses, and their career and avoid making important career decisions by trial and error. Joanna Ale, Career counselor began working in Career Services as an OPS First-year Experience Career Counselor and her focus has been on developing first-year experience career development programs. We will continue to add to these programs and services for the Spring 2014 semester. The Director of Career Services submitted a 5-year Action Plan to the Vice President of Student and International Affairs requesting to create a new A&P First Year Experience Coordinator position to focus on outreach and programming for first-year students.
The UNF Orientation Committee changed the format for Student/Parent Orientation and the resulting change has enabled Career Services more opportunities to interface with students and parents as they start at UNF. Orientation now takes place over a two-day period with a presentation to students and parents on day 1. On Day 2 there is an presentation to parents only and the students come to Career Services in groups of 12-25 for 45 minutes. Career Services staff have an opportunity to engage the students in fun career development activities and to explain career development services and programs. Students are not only introduced to Career Services staff but they also come into Career Services and see our facilities and resources.
Department Goal #2 Ensure effective and efficient delivery of career services to all constituents. University Goal #1: Cultivate a learning environment that supports intellectual curiosity, academic achievement, and personal growth. Division Goal 1: Enhance and cultivate an environment that encompasses body, mind and spirit pedagogy (holistic development) in which our University community ensures optimal student learning.
University Goal # 4: Affirm the university's public responsibility through civic and community engagement. Division Goal # 2 Affirm the University’s public responsibility through civic engagement and community-based learning and research.
Action 1: Maintain qualified and effectively trained frontline full-time and student staff members. (Timeline: July 2013-June 2014). Persons Responsible: Director; Associate Director; Support Staff. All Career Services staff members meet the qualifications required for their respective positions. Training and cross training are provided for all A&P, USPS, OPS, and OPS Student Assistants to ensure delivery of quality customer service. Action 2: Career Counselors and Career Coordinators /Liaisons will demonstrate appropriate expertise and effective application of helping skills when assisting students. Persons Responsible: Career Counselors and Career Coordinators, Director and Associate Director.

Brooke Hammon has met with and is working with 13 of the 15 department chairs and designated faculty within the COAS in order to continue to grow and implement a robust internship program for those programs. This includes working with departments on getting an official course curriculum, possible internship fairs and internship opportunities tracked and marketed throughout all departments. It is the goal to have a robust internship program located within all academic departments of the COAS. The action plan to make sure this happens is to work with all departments to create a program if one does not currently exist, as well as work with the departments where an internship course does exist in order to help grow the number of internship opportunities in the community for our students. So far, all departments in the COAS have an internship course available to their students except for 3: Mathematics & Statistics, English, Chemistry. Brooke is currently working with department chairs and/or faculty of the English and Chemistry departments in order to create an internship program for those departments. It is also a part of the plan to help market all internship opportunities located in Career Wings by continuous communication to the department chairs and internship course instructors. In addition, Career Services hopes to team up with the academic departments in order to host annual internship events specifically for their students to help promote and encourage them to enroll in internship courses. So far, two (2) events have been created that align with this plan: the Public Service & Government Internship Fair and the Psychology Internship Roundtable. Some departments, such as the Criminal Justice and Communications departments, already have events like this that they have been hosting in the past and will continue to do so in the future. It is in our plan to eventually expand these type events into other departments as well.
Continuous Improvement In August, 2013, Rebecca Johnson, the Career Coordinator and Liaison to the College of Computing Engineering and Construction (CCEC) left Career Services and the University of North Florida. A search was conducted for this position and Scott Curry was hired and started on December 9, 2013. This position is responsible for the employer relations for CCEC. As a result, our employer relations outreach was not at full-potential for the Fall 2013 Semester. Now that Scott Curry has joined Career Services, we should see an increase in employer outreach for CCEC. Career Services continues to work with employers to help them develop effective recruiting strategies at UNF.
Career Services also focuses on customer service for all constituents. Staff members and student assistants are cross trained to be able to provide accurate and helpful information and assistance to constituents. Brooke Hammon, the Employer Relations Coordinator continues to reach out to employers in the Jacksonville Area to develop internships for College of Arts and Sciences Students.
Sarah Rosen, Student Volunteer Coordinator for the newly implemented Volunteer Services, has been reaching out to on and off-campus entities in order to develop volunteer opportunities for students, as well as meeting with students to make them aware of these opportunities. Since her hiring in November 2013, Sarah has met with 51 students and has given 20 presentations to various departments on campus. She continues to collaborate events with over 24 UNF departments, as well as with over 30 community partners. For the spring semester, nearly 400 volunteer hours were logged by students by our newly implemented volunteer hour verification survey.
For 2013-14 our customer ratings from Employers met or exceeded our goals. We continue to focus on working closely with employers to help them develop effective recruiting strategies.
28 | P a g e
Although 83.86% of students responding to our survey indicated they would refer their fellow students to Career Services, for 2013-14 , several of our customer service assessment metrics were below the goal of 75%. Career Services is taking several steps for 2014-15 to bring these satisfaction levels back up to the desired levels: 1. Career Services has formed a Public Relations/Customer Service committee with 5 members of the Career Services staff serving on this committee. This committee will look at our services, programs, and resources in relation to our constituents. This will include: customer services, marketing and communication to constituents, and ensuring a consistency to the message being communicated to all constituents in person and through various media. 2. A second committee: Staff and Resource Development will be comprised of 5 Career Services staff members. This committee will seek out professional development and training opportunities for staff. This will include bringing in guest speakers for skill development. The committee will also look at our programming and resources to ensure we are meeting the needs of students. This will include the Career Services website and career workshops. Both committees will focus on the development and delivery of quality customer service.

Outcome 2: There will be an increase in students accessing and using the Career Wings system. Outcome 3: Faculty members will be more informed and aware of services provided to students through Career Services and refer students to Career Services programs and services.
Evaluation 1: Calculate the number of students and alumni who “like” the department’s Facebook.com page. We should see at least a 10% increase. In 2012-13 Career Services had 467 “Likes” on the Career Services Facebook and 134 following Career Services on Twitter. For 2013-14, Career Services has 667 “likes” on Facebook (42.8% increase) and 182 following us on Twitter (35.8% increase). Evaluation 2: Calculate the number of new students and alumni in Career Wings. We should see at least a 10% increase. For the 2013/14 Academic Year 2631 new students and alumni registered in Career Wings. This compares to 3591 in 2012/13 which is a 36% decrease. Evaluation 3: A follow-up survey will be sent in April to all students registered in Career Wings. Using the survey, we should see an increase in the percentage of students who indicate that a faculty member referred them to Career Services. Career Services conducted a follow-up survey in April 2014 to all sudents and alumni registered. When asked how they heard about Career Services 19% indicated they were referred by Faculty (compared to 18% in 2012-13) and 12% indicated they were referred by their academic advisor (compared to 12% in 2012-13).
Continuous Improvement: Developing awareness of our services and programs is a high priority. For the 2012-13 Academic Year we had 5329 students actively registered with Career Services. In 2013-14 we had a total of 5054 total students registered 30 | P a g e which is a decrease of 5% . Our goal was to double those numbers and the outreach is a critical component in developing a comprehensive outreach and marketing program. Nikki Sabol was the OPS Student Marketing Assistant (20 hrs per week) and she coordinated the Career Services outreach and marketing. Nikki graduated in December 2013 and has resigned her position with Career Services. Steve Farmer was hired for Spring 2014 semester to coordinate our marketing efforts and also serve as our webmaster.
The Director of Career Services has submitted a request for a new position: Multi-media specialist, a full-time A&P position to design and develop a comprehensive outreach and marketing program for Career Services with special emphasis on incorporating social media. This person will also help to develop the Career Services website and design and create brochures, flyers, posters and other marketing materials. If this position is approved, a person could start as early as July 2014. Noting the decreases we experienced in terms of students registering with Career Services and actively using Career Wings, the need for a full-time marketing person is critical for being able to increase our numbers significantly.
Department Goal #4: Develop and enhance career development resources for students. University Goal: #5 Secure fiscal, physical and technological resources aligned with the University’s mission and values. Division Goal #5: Embrace a professional development model that reflects a real world paradigm in order to prepare students for the future.
Action 1: Career Services staff will update content and graphics for the Career Services web pages. (Timeline: July 2013-September 2013).

In addition, the new Volunteer Services office created new webpages in order to help market volunteer opportunities and services to students.
In Fall 2014, Valarie Robinson, Dee Dee Wyckoff, and Rick Roberts formed a committee to review the website for user friendliness and ease of use. This committee continued in the Spring of 2014 with the assistance of the OPS Marketing Assistant. The committee was able to make some revisions that made the webpage easier to navigate and they were also able to remove information that was not current. Each liaison was asked to review the “What Can I Do With a Major” pages for their respective colleges to identify deadlinks and update salary information. The committee will continue to review the website for improvement. Action 2: Continue to maintain and update the Career Library. Timeline: July 2013-June 2014. Person Responsible: Career Counselor. In past years, Career Services received funds from Academic Affairs through the FACTS program. However, this funding was no longer available and Career Services requested to use $3000 from its fund balance to pay for the replacement of Career Library books and periodicals. Outdated books were purged this past summer to make room for current versions and to add new categories. A wide array of resources guides, magazines and books have been purchased and received to update the Career Library. These resources have been labeled and added to the library catalog for in-office use by students. A Federal jobs binder was created that provides information on federal jobs by major, undergraduate internship and graduate internships. Additionally, two majors exploration binders were added that includes a list of handouts describing job titles and places of employment for a wide list of majors. These items were labeled and shelved in the career library as student references. After a discussion with the Director of the Disability Resource Center, a new category of resources were purchased for the career library to support our 690 students at UNF with ADHD and any other interested student. Additionally, career resources for our military and veteran students were purchased to support this growing population. With the addition of the Volunteer Center to Career Services recently, career library resources were added that provides information about not-for-profit careers and other service related occupations. Books for students interested in exploring various service projects around the world were also added.

This number of active interns should increase over last year. There were 828 students enrolled in internship courses for the 2012-2013 academic year, compared to 824 students enrolled in internship courses for the 2013-2014 year.
Continuous Improvement Career Services staff members devote extensive time and energy into maintaining and developing career development resources for students in order to offer resources that up-to-date and accurate. With the resources in place for student use, it will be critically important to increase our marketing efforts. This should result in an increase usage of these resources. The Career Videos are maintained on an annual basis through a site license with Career Spots. We utilized funds from our fund balance to replace old resources and add new ones to our Career Library. We anticipate that our increased marketing efforts will encourage more participation in the COAS internship program. At this time, there are only 3 undergraduate programs in the COAS that require an internship (Communications, Criminal Justice and Music Education), thus making all other programs elective credit for students, of which students may decide they do not want to enroll. It is our plan to continue working with the various departments in the COAS to help market the internship program and encouraging students to enroll in order to help provide a more fulfilling internship experience than if they did it on their own.

Evaluation 1a: A follow-up survey will be given to students utilizing career counseling services. At least 75% of respondents should answer "Strongly Agree" or "Agree" when asked: “After using career counseling services I know how to make informed decisions when identifying and choosing a major or career path?” Career Services conducted a follow-up survey in April 2014 of all students and alumni registered in Career Wings. For those students who indicated they utilized career counseling services, 78.04% “Strong agreed” and “Agreed” to this goal. Evaluation 1b: A follow-up survey will be given to students participating in career development programs. At least 75% of respondents should answer "Strongly Agree" or "Agree" when asked: "Our goal was to teach you how to identify and explore suitable majors and career options. Did we meet this goal?" Career Services conducted a follow-up survey in April 2014 of all students and alumni registered in Career Wings.

Continuous Improvement: The Job Search Counseling and programming has always been a strength of Career Services. We implemented the STAR Program to help students work through all of the necessary steps of preparing for the world of work. This program has been a huge success and we continue to increase our numbers of students participating. We have also increased the number of faculty members who work with Career Services to make the STAR program a requirement for their students. We will continue this focus. The Dean of the College of Computing Engineering and Construction is now interested in implementing the STAR Program in this college. Our Career Coordinators, Scott Curry and Sharon Snow will look for ways the STAR program can be implemented for this college.

Department Goal #7: Seek additional resources, staffing, and funding to expand and increase career development services for UNF. University Goal: #5 Secure fiscal, physical and technological resources aligned with the University’s mission and values. Division Goal 1: Enhance and cultivate an environment that encompasses body, mind and spirit pedagogy (holistic development) in which our University community ensures optimal student learning. Action 1: Establish a baseline for Career Services programs and services via Graduate Surveys of three graduating classes. The surveys will enable us to understand post graduate activity, evaluate career development needs and develop more programs and resources to help students be successful after graduation. Scope: Approximately 6,500 prospects for calling, goal of 65% completion. Seek non- recurring funding to contract with Ruffalo Cody, a consulting firm to conduct email and phone follow-ups for survey. Total Cost needed for 2013-2014: $21,300 (Timeline July 2013-June 2014)
Career Services in collaboration with the Office of Institutional Research has started collecting data for this graduate survey project. In October three emails were sent out to UNF Graduates from the 2008-2009 and 2011-2012. This will provide data on graduate activity two years and five years after graduation. As of November, 2013, the online survey portion of the project received 212 full responses and 53 partial responses. The Survey will now move to Ruffalo Cody to complete the phone bank portion of the project. This process could extend well into the 2014 Academic Year since the callers are working around the schedule for the Annual Giving campaign for UNF. The project is scheduled for completion by June 30, 2014.
Action 2: Collect data on graduating seniors for a better understanding of post-graduate activities of UNF students. The University of North Florida Office of Institutional Research conducts a “Cap and Gown” graduating student survey. For the Fall/Spring 2012 Survey, UNF had a response rate of 36%. The University of Florida (UF) has moved to a mandated survey and places a hold on students’ transcripts and diploma until they complete the survey. UF’s response rates were: May 2012 (optional): 50% August 2012: (mandatory): 99% Work with UNF Administration to approve recommendation for Graduating Senior Survey to become mandatory at UNF. (Timeline July 2013-June 2014). Career Services Director has presented as part of five-year plan to the Vice President for Student and International Affairs a proposal to adopt the Florida State University (FSU) model for Graduating student surveys. The current UNF method includes a series of 3 emails prior to graduation soliciting student participation. This results in an average of 35% response rate. The Florida State Model includes 2 emails from the President indicating that the survey is a “graduation requirement.” Two more emails follow from the registrar restating that the survey is a graduation requirement. There are no holds of any kind, and no action is taken if students do not participate. With this approach FSU yielded a 96% response rate. Career Services has recommended adopting this model beginning with the Spring 2014 graduating class. Career Services originally looked at the UF model which made the survey mandatory and involved placing a hold on the transcripts of students who don’t participate. However, based on the success of the FSU model without holds or actions, it is recommended to follow this model. Action 3: Engage more students in their own career development- (staffing and outreach) Increase College of Arts and Sciences Career Coordinator, Diane Wyckoff from 28 hours per week to Full-time, 40 hours per week. (2013-14) For the largest UNF college (COAS), Career Services currently has one full- time Career Coordinator, Valarie Robinson and one part-time Coordinator, Diane Wyckoff (28 hours per 41 | P a g e
week). More staff is needed to work effectively with the COAS Academic Departments and to help students develop important job search skills (resume writing, interviewing, etc.) to secure their internships and jobs. Total Cost needed for 2013-2014: $15,153 (Timeline July 2013-June 2014)
OPS funding for 12 additional hours was secured to increase Diane Wyckoff’s hours per week from 28 to 40 for 2013-2014.
Outcome 1: A UNF Graduate Survey would provide us with a snapshot of the typical employment and graduate school patterns for our graduates. It will enable us to gain a better understanding of the post graduate activities of our graduates and ultimately develop career services to better assist our students as they graduate. Outcome 2: A “cap and gown” survey provides a snapshot of the post graduate plans of our students. It will provide important data on how many students have jobs lined up at graduation and also what their post graduate plans will be. This will also enable us to develop career programs and services to better assist our students as they move to the world of work. Outcome 3: Having a second Career Coordinator working 12 more hours per week to assist COAS students will enable us to connect with more students and faculty in that college. We can offer more career counseling appointment times, more workshops, and more career programs to help COAS students plan and implement their career plans.
Evaluation 1: We will seek and secure funding to contract with Ruffalo Cody, a consulting firm that specializes in graduate surveys, to conduct graduate surveys for three graduating classes. We should see a 60% response rate. Ruffalo Cody is on track to complete the survey calls by June 30, 2014. As of May 9, 2014, they had made 871 calls and collected 308 surveys. They experienced a rate of 60.73% of bad phone numbers and were unable to contact those alumni. A full report will be available in July 2014. Evaluation 2: For a successful return rate of over 90%, the Graduating Senior survey would need to be mandatory. A hold would be placed on students’ transcripts until they complete the survey. The Office of Institutional Research conducts the Graduating Senior Surveys each year. The Director of Career Services shared with the President, the President’s VP Council, and the Office of Institutional Research some best practices from across the State. This included an overview of the methodology used by Florida State University(FSU) which resulted in a 96% response rate. FSU sends out a series of emails with the survey link to students which indicate that it is a “graduation requirement.” UNF decided not to utilize this method for Spring 2014 and conducted the survey in the traditional method (email and survey link asking students to complete the survey). For Spring 2014, the survey had a 24% response rate. Evaluation 3: We should see at least a 10% increase in the number of COAS students receiving career development services. For the 2013-14 Academic Year, 1316 COAS students were registered in Career Wings compared to 1628 in 2012-13 which is an 18.5% decrease.
Continuous Improvement Director, Rick Roberts, has developed a revised 5-Year Plan including staffing and operating budget requests for a number of initiatives to move Career Services to a higher level of service delivery. This plan was presented to Dr. Gonzalez, VP for Student and International Affairs, and Everett Malcolm, Associate Vice President for Student Affairs on December 18. 2013. The five year plan will be used to help shape the Career Services budget request for 2014-15. Seeing the decrease in COAS students registering and utilizing Career Wings reinforces the need for a full-time marketing person to reach out to COAS students to increase their participation in career services and programs.

STATISTICAL INFORMATION
Career Counseling/Job Search Counseling Appointments Career Services staff members meet with students and alumni on a one-to-one basis to discuss a wide range of career development issues including choosing a major, writing cover letters, developing a resume, preparing for interviews, conducting a job search, applying to graduate and professional schools, and more.

For the 2013/2014 Academic Year, there was a 6.6% decrease (from 4603 to 4296) in the number of students and alumni/ae who met with a Career Services staff member. This can be attributed to an inconsistent marketing and outreach program and reinforces the need for a full-time professional staff member who can develop and implement a comprehensive marketing and outreach program.
Student Registration in Career Wings Any University of North Florida Student or alumnus/a who utilizes any of the personalized career development services of Career Services is required to register in "Career Wings," an on-line, registration, resume referral, and job posting system.

This can be attributed to inconsistency in the Career Services marketing and outreach efforts and reinforces the need to hire a full-time professional who can develop and implement a comprehensive marketing and outreach program.

Career Discoveries Unit
Vivian Senior continues to provide effective leadership to the Career Discoveries Unit. This unit primarily serves freshman and sophomore level students who are classified as “deciding and exploring” or juniors, seniors and alumni needing assistance with major and career selection. Paula Michael Dass, Career Counselor, is a major driving force in implementing this unit’s initiatives which includes a series of programs, events, activities, and services. This unit’s overall purpose is to engage and facilitate students’ effective progression through the career planning process. While budgetary constraints were impactful, the Career Discoveries team maintained a strong delivery of programs and services.

Table 7 reflects a decrease when compared to last year. However, of those served who responded to our satisfaction survey, 78% of students provided high ratings for career counseling services. These numbers do not reflect the number of students who scheduled appointments, but either cancelled or were “no shows”. Targeted marketing and outreach initiatives should result in an increase next year as this is a valuable service assisting students with major selection and exploring career options. It is also worth noting that while we experienced a decrease in students utilizing individual career counseling, we noticed an increase in the number of programs offered (nine additional programs) and the number of student participants (24% increase) as detailed in Table 7.

Table 8 provides the breakdown of students served in individual career counseling by class year during the 2012 - 2013 year. The number of students visiting during their junior year for selecting or changing majors or career focus only serves to emphasize the importance of more targeted outreach to students during their first and second year for career counseling services.

Table 9 shows increases when comparing programming between 2012-2013 and 2013-2014. We experienced a 7% increase in the number of programs offered and an 24% increase in the number of students served. The Career Discoveries Unit continued with deliberate and targeted efforts to reach as many students as possible through customized programming covering career planning, career assessments and career exploration.

Table 10 As the table reflects, we experienced a slight increase in the number of meetings and focused on developing new and maintaining relationships previously developed. These numbers do not reflect the multitude of correspondence via e-mail with constituents to ensure effective programming, services and resources for students.
FUTURE DIRECTIONS
In spite of budgetary constraints and very limited staff, The Career Discoveries Unit continues with deliberate efforts to offer programs, services and resources targeted to freshman & sophomore level students as well as students at other levels needing assistance with major and career selection, career exploration and career planning. Our goal is to continue to more specifically target first-year students for early engagement in the career planning process. Early engagement leads to more informed and lasting decisions regarding majors, promotes career exploration and facilitates student activities with employers for information and work experience. Career Counseling is a specialized and unique service offered and we want to further maximize student participation during their first- year.

Valarie provided individualized advisement for 1,179 clients via in-person appointments, telephone, and email contact (career related topics and Career Wings resume critiques). This represents an 8.17% increase over the previous year.
Dee Dee had contact with 931 COAS students/alumni via one-on-one appointments, emails, telephone calls, and Career Wings resume reviews for 2013-14 as compared to 406 student/alumni contacts for 2012-13. This represents a 129% increase. (Note: Ms. Wyckoff was on maternity leave from Nov. 2012 to Dee Dee Wyckoff, Career Coordinator Jan. 2013).
Brooke contacted a total of 416 employers and met with 102. The number of internship postings in Career Wings for COAS students was 288, an increase of 31% compared to the last year’s 209 postings. Brooke also met with 13 of the 15 department chairs and/or designated faculty.

Valarie and Dee Dee continue to cross-train in order to meet the needs of students and faculty from the 15 academic departments. The following departments continue to be the most active concerning services provided students and alumni: Criminology & Criminal Justice, Psychology, Communication, Biology, Political Science & Public Administration, International Studies, Sociology & Anthropology, English, Art & Design, and History. The Career Coordinators continued to attend weekly Advising Staff Meetings to provide career updates in an effort to increase student activity.

Table 12 shows number of Career Services presentations for the last five (5) years. During 2013-2014, Career Coordinators Valarie Robinson conducted 46 presentations (1,249 attendees) and Dee Dee Wyckoff conducted 39 (928 attendees). Employer Relations Coordinator Brooke Hammon conducted 12 presentations (557 attendees). The total number of presentations conducted by the three (3) COAS Coordinators for 2013/2014 decreased by 1% compared to 2012/2013 AYR. The total number of attendees decreased by 12.76% due to the elimination of the Communication STAR in-class presentations, COAS Transfer Orientation sessions and the Honor Students presentation.

The 2013/2014 year resulted in 198 COAS STAR Certified students in comparison to 372 for AY 2012/2013. This represents approximately a 47% decrease in the number of STAR Certified students in comparison to last year. The decrease in Certified students is the result of the decision to eliminate the STAR Certification process as a “course requirement” for the Communication Interns and Pre-interns due to the increased administrative demand placed on the COAS Liaisons.

Table 14 shows a 29% decrease in COAS students registered in IDS 3949 Elective Internship for 2013/2014. Academic internships offered by the COAS Departments have been promoted with the hire of Brooke Hammon, COAS Employer Coordinator. Consequently, a number of students elected to pursue their department’s academic internship course. Approximately five students applied but did not meet the IDS 3949 requirements or decided against doing any type of internship.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS
Valarie, Dee Dee, and Brooke will continue to network and collaborate with COAS faculty, staff, and student groups to enhance resources and programs that address students’ needs. To accomplish this, Dee Dee and Valarie will continue to meet with the Academic Advisers and assigned department faculty and chairpersons as needed. Career Wings registration will continue to be a focus as a way to connect COAS students with employers. The promotion of internship experience will continue to be a priority. Brooke will help market all internship opportunities located in Career Wings by continuous communication with the College of Arts and Sciences Department Chairs, Internship Course Instructors, and the Career Coordinators. In addition, Brooke hopes to team up with the academic departments in order to host annual internship events specifically for their students to help promote and encourage them to enroll in internship courses. It is the goal to have a robust internship program located within all academic departments of the COAS. The Career Coordinators will collaborate with various departments to help prepare students for internships. They will continue to conduct in-class and student group presentations as a way to reach more students. Valarie will continue to manage the COAS Experiential Learning in the Liberal Arts course (IDS 3949 Elective Internship). The Career Coordinators will continue to instruct the career planning classes. Valarie will instruct EDG 2000 (lower level career exploration focus) and Dee Dee will instruct the EDG 3991 (upper level employability preparation focus). Brooke will continue to supervise the Volunteer Services Coordinator. The goal is to continue to provide quality career services and resources for the college.

Brooks College of Health Career Services
The Career Liaison Program to the Brooks College of Health has maintained a strong relationship with students, faculty, and employers this year. She continues to present workshops in classrooms and provide one-on-one assistance to students. Interactions with the Doctor of Physical Therapy program remain successful as the liaison works with faculty and employers to present the Physical Therapy Job Fair. In addition, connections with Community Health, Exercise Science, RN-BSN, MPH, and prospective nursing candidates have continued to thrive throughout the past 5 years. The liaison has also begun to be involved with seniors in the health administration and athletic training programs. Employer relations were the focal point of this year, as the liaison tripled in outreach from the previous year. On April 15th, the Health Career Fair was offered to all students looking to gain experiences in the health field. The event was a great success or both employers and students.

The Star Program is a series of seminars, workshops, and services designed to help students develop the skills needed to be successful following graduation. The decrease in numbers was due to changes in the way STAR is being offered. The focus for BCH has shifted from STAR completion to STAR participation. This allows students to complete the portions of the program that are the most meaningful to their career needs.

College Of Education And Human Services
Maria Castro, Career Coordinator, COEHS Liaison
Maria Castro continues in her role as the Career Coordinator and Liaison to the College of Education and Human Services. Since taking on this role she has developed and implemented many career programs, workshops and presentations. Topics continue to include: career planning, resume writing, job search strategies, networking strategies, and interviewing skills. Maria assisted an estimated 484 students from the College of Education and Human Services. She provided job search feedback via individual appointments, emails, phone calls, Interview Stream, and Career Wings and email correspondences to COEHS students. She conducted a total of 42 presentations to COEHS students which included Resume Writing, Job Search Strategies, Interviewing Preparation, Use of Social Media in Job Search, Networking Strategies. Through these presentations she has been able to reach an estimated total of 1534 students during the 2013-2014 Academic Year.
During this academic year, Maria continues to provide the STAR Program in the College of Education and Human Services. She has been working with faculty members to present the STAR Workshop in classes. Maria has collaborated with COEHS Internship College Supervisors by providing the STAR Program to Education and Sport Management students. An estimated 555 students participated in STAR 1, 2, and 3 workshops which include the Resume and Interview Workshops and Resume Critiques during the 2013-2014 academic year. A total 64 students completed all five steps of the Star program and received their STAR which resulted in a16% increase from the previous academic year.
The STAR program continues to be a major part of Sport Management Practicum courses. Students registered for these courses continue to be become STAR Certified by completing all components of the STAR program as part of these courses. In addition, all Sport Management internship students are also required to complete a Job Search Counseling appointment with Maria to discuss their Career/Academic goals prior to graduation. This helps these students to develop an effective job/academic strategy plan that they can implement prior to graduation.
This year we have seen a significant improvement on our Education Job Fair based on the numbers of employers who attend the event. We continue reach out to employers and helped develop strong partnerships that are of great benefit to COEHS students. There was an increase in employer participation in the Education Job Fair from the previous academic year. Due to the increase in the number of employer’s and based on the surveys responses from last year’s event we decided to maintain the Job Fair at the at the Student Union location.
We had eleven school counties participate from throughout the Florida area and accept resumes from our students for potential employment opportunities. We had three Charters schools from Duval County also attend and three child care facilities attended as well. In addition, we also had the North East Florida Educational Consortium attend and they represented 15 counties and school throughout Florida. We had three employers hold on-campus interview right after the Education Job Fair. Based on the on –site interview many of counties extended job offers to our students during the Job fair. This Education Job Fair was a very productive event both for our student and for the employers who attended the event. Students were very excited about the employment prospects generated by the Education Job Fair. Kelly Education Staffing also participated in the Job fair since they recently acquired Clay County as a new substitute teaching account and were looking to fill new positions.

Kelly Educational Staffing (KES) the official Duval County Schools District Substitute Teacher provider participated in 5 Information Session at Career Services this academic year. These Information Sessions were designed to inform students on how to become eligible substitute teachers for Duval and Clay County School Districts . According to a report shared by Celeste Hearon Lead Recruiter for (KES), through these Information Sessions and us partnering via Career Wings an estimated 136 UNF Students attended the Information and according to the most recent report from KES an estimated 129 have become active substitute teachers this past year.
In addition to meeting the needs of the COEHS, Maria also participated in 31 Professional Development opportunities to continue her personal professional growth and development, and further sharpen her skills and abilities. Maria also continues in role as the Faculty Advisor to the Student National Education Association chapter in the COEHS. This student organization has been very active this past academic year. Continues to hold several general meetings throughout the academic year to plan events and discuss relevant issues in education. Again this year, SNEA was awarded Student Organization and Assistant Resources (SOAR) Grant worth $825.00 to assist the organization with their marketing and recruiting efforts during the 2013-2014 academic year. Maria has been able to provide the students and the organization the leadership and support needed to help it thrive.

The STAR Program will continue to be part of the Sport Management Practicum and Internship Program. She will continue to coordinate the Spring Education Job Fair. Maria will also continue to seek opportunities to reach out to employers and helped develop strong partnerships that will be a great benefit to COEHS students.

The 2013-2014 year has been one of change for Career Services and the College of Computing, Engineering & Construction. Rebecca Johnson left in August 2013, and the role of Career Liaison was handled by a mixture of Rick Roberts, Director of Career Services and Sharon Snow, CCEC Career Coordinator for the Fall 2013 semester. Scott Curry was hired in December 2013 to fill the Career Liaison role and has been incresingly active in increasing student and employer numbers. Sharon Snow continues to do an exceptional job in her postion as OPS Career Coordinator, working 30 hours a week meeting with students and alumni at her location in Building 15, giving the liaison the appropriate amount of time to meet and interact with industry professionals.
Industry involvement has been increasingly strong for CCEC for the 2013-2014 academic year, as employers in all three programs saw strong growth in the local, regional and national levels. Construction Management in particular has been very strong, as the Jacksonville market saw a resurgance in both the residential and commercial sectors. Overall, more than 140 internship opportunities were made availible for CCEC students, which led to strong co-op enrollment throughout the year. Additionally, all positions are now actively posted in Career Wings in addition to the previous email-only policy, so that students will be further encouraged to actively utilize Career Wings. Finally, our CCEC Employer Showcase reached a record 51 employers for Spring 2014, prompting a move to the UNF University Center for the Fall 2014 event.

Table 30 shows a comparison of counseling appointment for the last 4 years for the College of Computing, Engineering, and Construction. Career Services Representatives to the college met with 442 students this year. This years’ numbers represent a slight increase in the number of CCEC students with individual appointments. This is a very strong showing considering that the college was short one full-time Career Liaison for a full semester.

Table 32 This table shows a slight increase in student appointments, while across the board, are largely appointments with Computing, Mechanical Engineering, and Electrical Engineering. The Computing increase can be attributed to our staff having increased hours in that school. The ME and EE decrease can be attributed to a lack of a CCEC Liaison within Building 50, limiting awareness of Career Services.

Table 33: College of Computing Engineering and Construction: STAR Program Participation 2009-2010 2010-2011 2011-2012 2012-2013 2013-2014 Total Number of Students 3 9 4 1 0 Who Completed STAR Program Total Number of Students/Alumni 423 74 419 308 92 Still In Progress
The STAR Program is a series of seminars, workshops, and services designed to help students develop the skills needed to be successful following graduation. This program was fully implemented for the College of Computing, Engineering, and Construction for the 2007-2008 school year, however it was never promoted to students actively, and very few completed the program. In 2013-2014, 92 students and alumni participated in various steps, however none completed all 5 portions of the STAR Program. This decline in completed STARs can be attributed to the lack of promotion from the vacant CCEC Liaison position in the Fall, and a lack of emphasis on the program as a whole. We have instituted a new variation of the STAR Program for the new academic year, and hopefully it will have very positive numbers for 2014-15.

Table 34 shows a comparison in Career Services presentations of the past 4 years in the College of Computing Engineering and Construction. We saw a decrease in these numbers for the 2013-2014 year, which can be attributed to the lack of the CCEC Liaison position in the Fall semester.

Number of CCEC 21 31 43 32 81 Students Registered in Cooperative Education Table 35 shows a tremendous 153% increase in number of students participating in CCEC co-op programs. These results reflect the impressive gains in opportunities for our students as the industry continues to recover, and can be attributed to staff’s continued efforts to make students aware of the co-op programs. In addition, staff being able to speak to more classes and reach more students has impacted this increase as well. The co-op program is always reviewed in our class presentations. Broken down by program, there were 9 Computing, 23 Engineering and 49 Construction students enrolled in for-credit internships or Co-Ops in this year.

Indiv. Mtgs. with 27 27 85 87 35 Faculty, Admin., Student Groups & Employers Table 36 displays a decrease in the number of Career Services individual meetings with College of Computing Engineering and Construction faculty, administration and student group leaders. This decrease can be mainly attributed to the lack of the CCEC liaison position for the Fall 2014 semester. In the Spring, Scott Curry made a point to interact with more of these key individuals, and numbers should be returning to a normal figure in the 2014-2015 year.

Table 37 Shows a continued growth (15% increase) in employer participation, but a15% decrease in student participation for the CCEC Showcases. The large employer increase can be attributed to a resurgence in the business operations for CCEC related employers, which has allowed them to hire more for internships and full-time opportunities. The decrease in student attendance can be attributed to the lack of promotion from the Career Liaison role vacant in the fall semester. Numbers returned to previously-expected turnout in the spring semester.

Future Directions/Challenges
Starting in the fall semester, the CCEC Employer Showcase will be relocated to the UNF University Center for all foreseeable events. This decision can after a looking at future event growth, and asking the opinions of both employers and students who frequent the event. This change will allow us more space for new employer registrations, and will alleviate both the parking and food complaints of the past years. Other areas of continued improvement include a reworking of the STAR program tailored specifically for CCEC. This program will focus on large-scale presentations as well as a refocus on interviewing and other professional skills. These efforts should allow CCEC to have better prepared students and alumni entering the workforce.

VOLUNTEER SERVICES
Beginning November 2013, Sarah Rosen accepted the position as Volunteer Coordinator for the new Volunteer Services located in Career Services and supervised by Brooke Hammon, Employer Relations Coordinator. This position is based on funding split between Student Government and Student Life and averaged 25 hours a week. As the Volunteer Coordinator, Sarah conducted face-to-face appointments with students in order to find their volunteer interests, as well as reaching out to on and off-campus organizations to create volunteer opportunities.
In addition, Sarah began planning volunteer events hosted by Volunteer Services. During the spring of 2014, Volunteer Services hosted a Volunteer Fair, which had 36 on and off campus volunteer organizations and 168 students attend. Volunteer Services also partnered with the Military Veteran’s Resource Center and the Greater Jacksonville USO to host “Supplies for Soldiers”, a supply drive to send care packages to our local troops overseas. This event yielded 28 volunteers to create 43 care packages of varying sizes to send to our troops. Volunteer Services also partnered with Spina Bifida of Jacksonville and Mended Little Hearts to create a Spring Carnival for the children and families of those organizations. This event rallied over 50 UNF student volunteers from a variety of on campus clubs and organizations. Volunteer Services will continue those events, plus others, into the new academic year.
Major Accomplishments of Sarah Rosen, Volunteer Coordinator: Collaborated with UNF CIRT to make an online resource for students to log their volunteer hours; Keeping records of the date/ time/ place they volunteered each time on file, all hours are verified by the organization. 71 students have used the system to log hours, and 385 hours have been logged.

CAREER SERVICES EMPLOYER RELATIONS/ON-CAMPUS RECRUITING PROGRAMS
Career Services has developed an employer relations and outreach program designed to help employers recruit UNF students and graduates for full-time, career opportunities through a variety of on-campus recruiting programs. Employers can participate in Career Expos and the Education Job Fair talking with large numbers of students or meet individually with students through on-campus interviews and information tables. Career Services also sends the resumes of UNF students to potential employers through a resume referral program. Employers can arrange information sessions or socials to present information about their organization and opportunities to small groups of interested students.

Continuous Improvement
CONCLUSION
2013-14 was another productive year for Career Services and saw the addition of three new career programs: Volunteer Fair, Public Service and Government Internship Fair, and the Health Career Fair. Our staff members continue to look to develop new programs and resources to bring employers and our students together. One area that continues to need more focus is our outreach and marketing. We want to see more students engaged in their own career development and utilizing our services and participating in our major career programs. We are looking forward to the addition of a new position that will focus on marketing and outreach. This new staff member can design and implement a comprehensive marketing and outreach which will help us to increase the number of students connecting with our office and engaging in career development throughout all four years at UNF. The end result should be a significant increase in the placement rates and salary levels for our graduates.
