| Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale | The amount of projects, new initiatives, services, and partnerships we are able to develop rests on the ability to hire an additional professional staff person. We are in Newburgh only one day per week and cannot increase those hours because of our limited staffing resources. Although we would like to create and deliver more specific department related activities, we are strapped by our current workload. We recently lost a grant-funded Internship Development specialist and are splitting those responsibilities between the only two professional staff in our office. We are unable to dedicate time on an ongoing and consistent basis to employer relations. More could be done on a more consistent basis than is currently possible, if only we had an additional staff person. |
|---|
| Consequences of this initiative not being funded | Inconsistent employer relationship building activities and department specific activities. Only one day/week in Newburgh. |

| Department Goals | Increase and enhance services and sustainable partnerships off and on campus. |

Institutional Goals
| Goal |
How will the initiative support this institutional goal? |
- STUDENT SERVICES MASTER PLAN 2013
- Efficiency and Effectiveness
- Continuously monitor staffing levels and adjust based on analysis
|
An additional staff person would increase our efficiency and effectiveness. It also enables us to engage in strategic, non-urgent but important activities. We could develop new programs and services, provide more department-specific activities, and ensure that all students who desire an internship can be placed. |
- STUDENT SERVICES MASTER PLAN 2013
- Efficiency and Effectiveness
- Place an emphasis on student focused career and internship, leadership, and co-curricular opportunities
|
The more students we can serve, the more will be career ready. |
- STRATEGIC PLAN 2015-2020
- PRIORITY III: Collaboration and Communication: We will develop connections between internal and external constituents and advance mutually beneficial partnerships. We will promote a culture of trust, respect, and collective responsibility.
- a: Foster stronger connections among academic programs, business, & industry to increase applied learning opportunities for students.
|
Adding a staff person to our office would enable the Director and Assistant Director to strengthen off and on-campus relationships. Meeting with employers and workforce development partners is critical to keeping abreast of local and regional workforce development trends, which we can then pass on to students, faculty, and administrators. |
