I found it really interesting that “dozens of colleges and universities are offering career-counseling services not only to recent graduates but also to thousands of alumni, including some former students who completed their degrees a decade ago or more,” writes Justin Pope.

For years colleges and universities have offered career-counseling services. Pope goes on to say, “But only in recent years have a significant number begun devoting staff members solely to alumni. One reason: Increasing job turnover in many professions has more former students looking for personalized advice. Still, the number of schools with full-time staff for alumni remains small. One reason is that colleges are supposed to serve students first, prompting some debate about how such programs should be funded.”

If you are thinking about a career transition, you may want to check out if the college or university you graduated from offers complimentary services to alumni! If you know of someone who isn’t being offered complimentary services where they graduated and would like to have some advice through a complimentary initial consultation with a professional Career Coach, please share with him or her about Summit View Career Coaching.
