Shaping Career Success: Leadership and Impact of the Student Career and Placement Services Department
Led by Director Dr. Patrick Guuda, the department offers personalized career counseling, workshops, and training to enhance employability skills, while actively connecting students with internship and job opportunities.
The life of a student is an important and dynamic component of an active tertiary education experience. It provides the students with an opportunity to develop not only academically, but also socially. It is important to note that universities have a responsibility as part of the wholistic education of their graduate to prepare student for eventual entry into the work force or and entrepreneurship.
This is a more complex activity than simply providing the student with greater levels of information and even more sophisticated general skills.
In addition, it is also the responsibility of the university to educate the students about the nature of the work force and the student’s potential place in it, and how the course of study pursued by the students may eventually affect the student’s place in the work force. Career services do provide the immediate assistance that the student may need to maximize his or her capacity to begin a career.
