Survey of Career Services in Canadian Postsecondary Institutions

   OVERVIEW OF THE SURVEY          

INTRODUCTION
The Canadian Education and Research Institute for Counselling (CERIC) has engaged PSE Information Systems to conduct a national study of career services delivery in postsecondary institutions with the following major goals:

  • To understand the landscape of career service models across Canada including:
  • Develop an inventory of career service models
  • Query the leadership across the country to determine up-coming changes
  • Highlight impressive models across the country and the criteria used to evaluate
  • To examine the level of institutional commitment to the provision of career services to students
  • Explore the institutional investment in career development and changes over time, including funding, sustainability and location on campus.
  • Determine what outcome measures, if any, institutions are using.
  • Evaluate which institutions, if any, are calculating the economic value of career development and impact.
  • Review the earlier Kalbfleisch/Burwell research by examining changes in roles/functions, respective educational backgrounds and the definition of these roles and functions in career services and/or other areas of post-secondary institutions, including employment services.

This questionnaire is one part of a multi-pronged process designed to achieve these goals. Thirty-seven (37) survey participants will be randomly selected as ‘incentive’ winners according to the Official Survey Rules and Regulations including 2 chances for a 7.9 in., 32GB Apple iPad mini, 5 chances for free registration at Cannexus17 or Cannexus18, ten $100 Canadian Tire and 20 $25 Tim Horton gift cards.
