ReseaRch Executive Summary

Key FindingsoFFice speciFics

• Most responding career centers (84.2 percent)are centralized in structure; however, there has been small movement toward decentralization. Currently, 15.8 percent of respondents report a decentralized structure, up from 12.5 percent in 2010 and 13.5 percent reported in last year’s survey.

• Just under half of offices report their office title is “career services.” The next most popular option is “career center,” with 15.3 percent of respondents.

• Just under 60 percent of respondents reported that their office falls under the division of student affairs.

• Overall, the career services office has an average of 2,349 square feet; however, the median is only 1,200 square feet.

• On average, there are two rooms available for interviewing, but none are exclusively used for that purpose.

services oFFered

• More than 90 percent of respondents provide career counseling by appointment; career fairs; workshops; assistance to students pursuing employer-offered internship, co-op, or externship opportunities; and availability of career resources and assessments.

• Results show some decline in services, driven largely by larger schools: For example, the average number of workshops delivered fell from 73 to 61.

• In 2010-11, an average of 344 students were assisted with employer-based internships, down from an average of 426 in 2009-10. As with workshops, that decline is concentrated among respondents from large schools.

• A majority of respondents also provide drop-in career counseling, online career counseling, assistance with academic internships, specialized career fairs; on-campus recruiting, and outreach to alumni.

• Fewer than half of respondents provide academic counseling, career classes for credit, or a credential file service.

• here are some considerable variations among industry sectors when it comes to de-pending on new college graduates for overall new hires.

graduatiNg studeNt activity

• Overall, 42.4 percent of the Class of 2010 had a job at the time of graduation; this is close to the figure reported for the Class of 2009 (43.5 percent).

• By the time of the follow-up study (conducted six to seven months after graduation), 63.6 percent had jobs. That matches the experience of the Class of 2009, but is down significantly from results for the Class of 2007 (75 percent of the class had a job at the time of the follow-up survey).

• Approximately 22 percent of the Class of 2010 went on to graduate school. This is essentially the same average as was reported for the Class of 2009.

staFFiNg

• The average number of FTE professional staff is 5.1, virtually the same number reported in the past two surveys.

• Overall, the average number of students to professional staff is 1,645 to 1. That ratio is highly correlated to the size of the school. For example, at schools with 20,000 or more students, there is one professional staff member for 5,876 students. At schools with fewer than 1,000 students, there is one professional staff member for 366 students.

• On average, respondents have 4.4 FTE clerical staff in the career services office. This number is approximately the same as was reported last year. In fact, there has been almost no change in the average number of clerical staff over the past four years.

salaries

• Overall, average salaries for career services staff tended to decrease marginally over the past year.

• Directors commanded the highest salaries: Their average salary was $67,282, down less than 1 percent from $67,325 recorded in last year’s survey.

• Career counselors, however, saw their average salary rise 6.8 percent too $43,622.

• Most other professional staff positions saw decreases in their average salaries, but a few positions—experiential education coordinator and employer relations coordinator—earned higher salaries.

Executive SummaryReseaRch

Budgets

• For the 2011-12 academic year, career centers reported an average oper-ating budget of $63,086, down 15.5 percent from the average budget of $74,711 reported for the 2010-11 academic year.

• The median operating budget is considerably smaller--$31,000. This is also a decline from a year ago.

• The great majority of career services offices are dependent on their institutions for their operating budgets. On average, career offices get 82 percent of their operating budget from the institution. However, nearly half of all respondents receive all their operating revenue from the institution.

• Approximately 21 percent of respondents have “partnership” programs as a means of generating revenues. These programs are far more prevalent among larger schools than among their smaller counterparts.

Fees

• In general, fees are highly concentrated among the largest of the institutions.

• There is little fee generation through either student or alumni services. Instead, career services offices generally seek to generate fees from employers.

• Among those that do charge students, testing is the service most likely to career a charge.

• Charges to alumni are more than common than those to students, but are not prevalent: Less than 10 percent of respondents that provide services to alumni charge for those services. Again, testing is the most common service carrying a charge.

• Overall, charging employers for career fair participation in the most prevalent source of fee-based revenue. There does not seem to be a connection between size of school and propensity to charge, although the average amount of the fee varies by size of school and employer sector (private sector, government agencies, nonprofit organizations).

tecHNology

• The technologies used by career centers are nearly identical to what was reported in last year’s survey.

Executive Summary ReseaRch

• The most commonly used technologies are the career center website and online job postings.

• In terms of effectiveness, online interview scheduling earned the highest rating, followed by online job postings. On the other end were electronic portfolios and virtual career fairs.

• For the first time, respondents were asked about smartphones: Are these devices being supplied to career services staff? Overall, less than 17 percent reported a supplied smartphone. Size of institution does not appear to have much of an effect: In fact, 15 percent of respondents at schools with fewer than 1,000 students were supplied with these devices while just 16 percent of their counterparts at schools with 20,000 or more students reported the same.

• When smartphones are provided, they are most likely given to the director.

• Nearly 81 percent of responding career centers have established a Facebook “fan” page. That’s a significant increase over the 59 percent who reported this in 2010.

• Schools in the Twitterverse are a more exclusive group: Just under half of respondents reported having a Twitter profile. Still, that’s sizeable increase over the 36 percent who reported using Twitter last year.
