Offices of career services have been a mainstay of American college campuses for decades. And they\u2019ve had a consistent goal: to help undergraduates land the kind of satisfying jobs after graduation that make use of their educations and skills.<\/p>\n
But within that stable framework, there\u2019s been a sea change in the way that college career guidance takes place. At the University of Rochester, the paradigm shift is written into name of the career services office itself: Gwen M. Greene Center for Career Education and Connections<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cBefore it was really built on the idea that the career centers have all of the information, are the gate keepers,\u201d says Joe Testani, assistant dean and executive director of the Greene Center. Now, given that so much information is available online, \u201cit\u2019s really about how they make better decisions with the information that they have access to.\u201d<\/p>\n
