Assessing Students' Career Needs at a Large State University

Abstract

The results of this needs assessment indicate that not enough, students used our departmental career advising program. Comparing our results with those at Creighton University underscored the necessity to increase student usage of all our sources of information (e.g., consulting with peer advisers and attending departmental presentations), as well as their usage of all types of information (e.g., finding out about career opportunities outside of human services and learning how to write a resumé). This article offers practical strategies to promote greater use of both sources and types of information.
