Students today want career support and services, and not just education
said being able to pursue a more fulfilling career was a major reason they enrolled in the institute
cited the possibility and ability to get a higher-paying job as a main reason of enrolling in the institute
defined their post-study success based on how ready and equipped they would be for work and careers
The above statistics by Gallup and the Lumina Foundation in the State of Higher Education Report clearly highlight that students at Universities, Colleges, and all types of Educational Institutions desire career support in addition to core education skills to keep up with the quickly changing and growing demands of today’s employment landscape.
And as a University, College, or Educational Institute, it is imperative to provide Career Services that meet these students’ needs and wants.
Globally, there are gaps in Career Services being offered,
and what students are actually seeking
According to the latest Student Voice survey of graduate students, 31% say they’ve never interacted with their college or university career center.
A further 20% have interacted with the available career services center just once.
The roughly 50% students that interacted more than once with the available career services, stated they would like to see
more of the following services being offered (brackets are percentage of students who voted for the service) –
- Developing a Resumé (69%)
- Career Exploration (67%)
- Recruitment Events (64%)
- Getting an Internship (62%)
- Mock Interviews (59%)
- Networking (56%)
- Job Strategies (50%)
- Personal Branding (46%)
- Mentorship (45%)
- Employer Partnerships (43%)
- LinkedIn Profile Support (36%)
- Workplace Readiness (35%)
It is clear that students seek services that can help them package their academic qualifications and skills for gainful employment.
Educational Institutes & Faculty are realizing the importance of Career Services
Aside from finding ways to inform, attract, and engage students, effective Career Service Centers must secure buy-ins from
deans, heads of departments, and faculty members and infuse career services into curricular and co-curricular activities.

- Holistic Career Development throughout a student's academic journey
- Personalized Career Coaching tailored to each individual student's needs

With rampant increases in unemployed, underemployed, and under-skilled students and youth, there has never been a greater need
for Universities, Colleges, Schools, and all types of Educational Institutes to invest in robust Career Services.
