Next Generation Career Development at UVA Board of Visitors Update 21 February 2014 1

University students need advising in three key realms: personal, academic, and career. Total Advising We must ensure we have an adequate infrastructure in place to meet the needs of our students in these three critical realms 2

In the past several months we have made significant progress on the Career portion. Academic III. Career: • Formation of the Career Services Council • Appointment of Everette Fortner to lead this initiative 3

External pressures on college student outcomes are growing. Employment Landscape Student Employer Parental Parent Concerns Emp Needs Concerns Outcomes Legislative Pressure 4

Spending cuts and disparities among schools have led to six key areas of concern. • Student advising capacity is low (or at capacity) Advising throughout the system • Less than 50% Student Engagement • Lower in first and second year • Disaggregated information leads to confusion among Internships students • Decentralized; lack of coordination Employer Relations • Insufficient outreach • Low, though variable across schools Parent and Alumni Engagement • Sporadic sharing and collaboration Career Culture • Lack of understanding of career role in total advising 7

Vision (draft) 100% of students reaching desired first destination at graduation/six months post… • First step • Fulfilling personal and professional lives • Empower students to own the process and outcomes 8
