| Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale | Career Coach was made available to us through a DOL/SUNY grant with the understanding that the college would financially sustain the Career Coach application after the grant period ends.
The program is a public-facing web tool designed to help colleges connect students and jobseekers to local careers, by providing current regional labor market information and likes to relevant education and training. Career Coach is a great recruitment tool since it is visible to prospective students and community members. Since the summer of 2016 we have had over 3,000 hits and almost 100 inquiries.
An EMSI economist completed a ROI review in 2014 which calculated that if a college is able to register 10-20 students as a result of their involvement with Career Coach, the application pays for itself.
