"I'm a
dancer. There's
absolutely nothing
they can do to help
me with my career."
Internal Calls for Change:
Students/
Alumni
University
"They helped me get
started on my resume,
but I didn't think they
had anything else that
would help me."
Employers
Staff are not
knowledgeable
enough about
employer
requirements.
Students, Alumni
Rigid and
inflexible,
unreceptive to
collaboration. “..many of the
employer
relationships
are basically
links to
individual
academic staff
members.”
