Marketing and Branding for Career Services:  How to Build Awareness on Campus and Help Your Students Shine

Every day, your Career Services team works to help students stand out from the crowd, think strategically about career development, master skills such as networking and interviewing, get connected to internship and job opportunities, and so much more. Yet a common challenge remains:  how do you increase awareness on campus for these services, and get more students engaged? In this program, we’ll look at tips and tricks for success in raising the profile of your work among students and enhancing the reputation of your department as a go-to resource for all things career-related.
