• Use of corporate logo(with live link to their HR/
jobs page) on our website
Structure of ACC’s Industry Partner Program
• Industry Partners are NOT interested in a formal arrangement (i.e. MOUs, etc.)
• The “pay by the pelt” compensa+on structure for outreach consultants is the most effec+ve method
• Faculty par+cipa+on in industry review panels is spoYy unless required by contract
• Involving industry partners in mock interview sessions with students increased their overall involvement in the program and made them more likely to hire our students
Lessons Learned
• Students (and industry partners) are hesitant to u+lize the porIolio website unless there is a compelling reason • Lack of training for industry partners and students • Need porIolio development guidance • Need job scraping so]ware
• Students who par+cipate in the career services process
have a higher success rate than those who do not
• Some industry partners do not care about specific creden+als (cer+ficates) as much as they care about grades.
Lessons Learned (continued)
• Industry review panels should be mandatory for all courses
• Industry partner surveys about areas of interest are helpful
• Aus+n Technology Council – no formal rela+onship
