New "On Demand" career videos provides needed advice to alumni & grads and CONTRIBUTIONS to your scholarship fund!
Your alumni are worried!
Worried about their job security, worried about their mortgage, worried about how they are going to afford their kids education. Worried, worried, worried!
These are difficult times.
Only 20 percent of your graduating seniors are getting jobs when they graduate. Worse, yet the unemployment rate for college graduates doubled in the last two years.
So how many alumni are affected? With the unemployment rate for worker with a degree now reaching 5%, if you have 30,000 alumni, you have 1,500 alumni out of work and in need of your help. Larger universities have as many as 20,000 to 40,000 alumni who are desperately looking for work!
And it doesn’t look like it’s going to get much better in the coming years. So what can you do to help?
Your alumni want your HELP!
Harvard professor, Dr. Gerald Zaltman's used his patented research technique, the Zaltman Metaphor Elicitation to identify what your alumni wanted and needed from your alumni association. His research showed that alumni looked to the alumni association for help in the transitions in their life. They looked at their alma mater as the source they could fall back on for training information and advice. They wanted help/advice or guidance when they were looking for their first job, buying their first house, having kids, advancing in their career and retiring.
Because of these difficult economic times, your alumni are looking:
- For career advice
- Help in understanding how they can keep their jobs
- For knowledge on how to build a network to fall back on if they lose their job
- To do more business with people they know
- For tips on how they can get ahead in the job they have!
That's where YOU can help!
We know you are busy. That's why we created a turn-key alumni career education program that will automatically deliver valuable career advice, help alumni network and notify each other of jobs available.
We’ve lined up 9 of the country’s top authors and experts on careers and produced a career advice series of the most informative videos yet produced. Your grads and alumni will hear the experts share advice on how to determine the right career, how to organize the job search, how to network; use social media, build one's personal brand and techniques to master an interview!
Each of our experts provides a 30-60 minute presentation within their area of expertise.
Your alumni will hear:
- Corey Ciocchetti discuss ethics in developing your professional integrity
