Strategic planning and market-driven management for career centers

Article Abstract:

A Career Planning and Placement Center (CPPC) should provide services that are responsive to the needs of both employers and students. Its focus should not be just to find employment for students but also to make sure that students are suited to jobs that are available. CPPCs have to adopt an effective planning strategy to become a truly market-driven entity. The strategy can start with an objective evaluation of the CPPCs' weaknesses and strengths based on past performances. Discussion of how CPPCs can be converted into market-driven organizations is presented.
