A new resource has just been launched to help university career centres improve and expand their evaluation activities – a very hot topic right now.

Career Centre Evaluation: A Practitioner Guide (www.ceric.ca/careercentreevaluation) is a customized online resource to help university career centres think about and design effective evaluation strategies. This resource provides a look at how five different career centres have tried to understand the components of evaluation and how they developed tools to use in their settings.

The guide provides:

• An introduction to a framework for evaluation
• Example tools that you can adapt to your own setting
• Case studies of evaluation activities at other career centres

This project was created through a partnership between CERIC and a working group of the career centre leaders at the University of Toronto, Trent University, the University of Waterloo, the University of Western Ontario and the University of Windsor. Cathy Keates of Career Considerations was the Career Centre Evaluation Project Coordinator.

Keates and other members of the project team will be presenting at Cannexus12 in Ottawa.  Participate in their session on Tuesday, January 24, 10:00-11:30 am or drop by the CERIC booth at Cannexus to meet the developers during that afternoon’s break.
