Attend the last stop on the career services assessment Team Listening tour
The members of the Career Services Assessment Team (CSAT) thank all those who have
attended the many stops on their Career Services Strategic Plan Listening Tour, particularly
those who have taken the time to share their input on the feedback form.
As a reminder, an interdivisional, intercampus group of MiraCostans (the CSAT) has
been meeting for a year and a half to develop a District-wide Strategic Plan for Career
Services. This group has been assessing services, gathering data, reviewing resources,
conducting a SWOT analysis, and drafting Guiding Principles and Recommendations for
the District-wide Strategic Plan for Career Services. CSAT team members are seeking
broad input regarding their work to date so the strategic plan that is to be developed
in the spring is inclusive of the perspectives of all MiraCostans.
If you were unable to attend any of the stops on the listening tour previously published
in the MiraCostan, you have an opportunity to listen to this recorded Zoom session
led by Associate Dean Ben Gamboa and ACP Counselor Ticey Hosley: https://miracosta-edu.zoom.us/rec/share/Neo2oZ9JMLGZy91bf4amuf07NtvExbt_4iAXZJcV7Nn8deUYs8RZ3IbF81Q0FUd9.sd6KX3c7B3iy6OuE?startTime=1732640339000.
The presentation includes a slide with a QR code you can use to access the feedback
form. CSAT members want to be sure the plan they are to develop in the spring addresses
the career-related needs and concerns of all MiraCosta students, alumni, employees,
and the community we MiraCostans serve. The CSAT feedback form will be open until
the first day of the spring semester, 1/21/24. Please provide your feedback; CSAT
members look forward to hearing from you all!
