Notes de l'éditeur
- Poll the audience: To gauge familiarity with the MSE basics - Raise your hand if you are currently NOT in an MSE. Raise your hand if you ARE in an MSE for 6+ months. To gauge familiarity with NACELink basics – Raise your hand if you are the primary NACElink administrator in your office (or your MSE).
- We can take this time to introduce ourselves, our positions, and then how are schools have set up the MSE. It might be fun to include photos of our universities. We should each note in our MSEs the relative size of the participating schools and the composition (ie. Graduate or undergraduate or both). Also, mention the position of the career centers prior to acquiring the NACElink MSE.

- We did something very similar and I agree with the difficulties. We can share “recommendations” as well. One of our challenges was training our career center staff of “varying levels of technology”. I would have liked to have a staff member dedicated to training, who wasn’t part of the primary construction committee. The acquisition of an MSE is a classic case study in organizational change and people should treat it as such. Also recommend finding a colleague at a school who has been through the process. There are some decisions made early on that can have significant consequences later on. Or someone kind enough to create a guest account. I think we could sit down and decide on best practices between the two MSEs in these strategies.
- Split the picklists in two pieces – employers/job and students/alumni. Each school prepared each picklist (only those revelent). We met twice and defined terms (e.g. industry vs. job function) and compiled the list. The MSE “chair” worked w/ symplicity to learn how each picklist was actually used. Unique Challenges: Identifying HOW each school would use the picklists. “Major” for example. Seaver used it, but graduate school didn’t. However, using localization they could use the list for other things. We utilized hierarchies to organize this list. Big challenge still to this day is defining position type and trying to keep this list to a reasonable size.
- Recommendations: In the beginning, have a copy of every email sent to an office staff, so they can review how it actually looks. This is important with auto-populated fields. Do all the emails at once – define the set tone, language, greeting, and signature – so that emails are consistent. We should mention one thing not shared – localization. Thank goodness!
- Jointly collected data – clear guidelines are necessary, following through on guidelines is necessary. (i.e., total alumni or student #s, preferred method of contact field for shared employers). , such as counting total alumni, total employers in non-profit sector. This requires coordination among schools on displayed fields and required fields. Garbage in, garage out.
- CareerWeek tabling and promos at all major events (fairs, career week, ect…) – we printed business cards and we had left over globe keychains from a previous event. Target the campaign by student’s year in school or major. Work with special groups and highlight how they can use it – internships, student employment job posting and searching, event calendar (student orgs can post career-related things here to help promote their events, such as Senior Week). Soon after the launch we targeted underclassmen needing on-campus jobs and trained them. Use consistent language – on all event marketing it ends with “More info and RSVP on CareerSpace”
- Nacelink network – mse system setting, guidelines on employer approval AND job approval. If a job is multi-school affiliated, the contact will receive emails from each affiliated school Recommendation: Pomona – kristina sort jobs based on good fit; or rotates; Peppedine – no school wanted NACELink except for Seaver, so katrina approves. Mention GSBM. Students seeing all jobs may dilute your school’s brand MBA students seeing homebased childcare jobs, or liberal arts students seeing engineering jobs, or alumni seeing entry-level jobs Creative solutions: Screening criteria limit students from applying MSE SS restricts “unqualified” students from viewing jobs
- Be diligent about entering requests into the extranet. Again, keep a good relationship with your account rep. Think of them like a staff member in your office that works remotely.
- I’d like to start this chapter of “Strategies to Maintain” with something like, “This is where you can reflect on our own environment and see if this is a good fit for your school. If these things are achieveable at your school, then consider an MSE. If not, all I can say is my first months of marriage have been much easier than my first nine months of MSE”. Come to the table with a mind towards compromise. The system is so customizable, that often times you can reach your goals in creative ways.
- Bottom Line – Is an MSE for you? Practical questions: Make a list of the things you are NOT willing to compromise; what’s more important to you – broader resources, less control? Or more control, narrower resources? (can we find a better way to say this? ) Before you start and before you start building – address each school’s long-term goals. Are they compatible? It is helpful, as an MSE and as an individual school, to set a few long-term goals. When you care more comfortable with the system, what kinds of reports would you like to run, how would you like to use the data, what kind of data to collect, who will your users be (students, alumni, prospective students?), what kinds of opportunities will it host (student employment, home based, full-time entry, full-time experienced, internships, graduate assistantships, practicum), is single sign-on in your future, will you move career counseling online or the professional network. Plan to do more combined events? Have each career center compile these goals and then discuss as an MSE. Discuss these goals with your account rep and/or find another school that currently implements one of these plans, so you can create your system to support these long term goals.
