Presented by TISOH Associate Director of Academic Affairs Sean McCray and Student Affairs Manager Anthony Lai, "Completion and Placement:  A Holistic Approach to Career Services" examined the increasing and effective uses of co-curricular career programs in higher education and vocational education.  Based on a quantitative review of the current literature of the topic, the research demonstrated that a holistic approach to career planning and placement has significant benefits for both students and institutions. 

The presentation emphasized that experiential learning and concurrent professional and networking opportunities designed into the curriculum from the beginning of students' matriculation result in more effective career preparation and better institutional placement outcomes.  Additionally, the presentation outlined steps that institutions can take to increase the scope and reach of their career programs and to encourage student success post-graduation.
