staff members who try to work with the students and alumni to build their career plans and be

successful at finding job related openings, their offices can be located on the first floor of the

Student Center building (STC). To get more information about what they provide, students can

check their brochure available in their offices as well as on their website where they break down

students will be able to inform themselves better with the amount of information provided in

their brochure such as to what they can expect from them if they ever decide to visit their offices

for guidance on their career path and be on the lookout for employment opportunities.

Looking through the brochure available to the public it can be noticeable that the way the

names of the different apartments available are displayed in sections in bold text and bullet

points making it easier to show important information of each department. In the brochure

people can find many student career services and programs such as career counseling where

chance to experience guidance left some feedback for others to see on the organizations website

where they mentioned how throughout the different assessments provided by the staff, they were

able to analyze what career or major fitted them the best that led them to choose the best option

for their future. The information provided in the brochure in general is helpful for students to

gain professional development. They specifically made the header ‘’continuing education’’ in the

first page of the brochure to point out that there are different ways to enhance the students’

an amount of great information for students to acknowledge that they are given the opportunity

to try out the educational resources so that they can be exposed to practical scenarios regarding

the industry they choose to be in.

follow through as the organization tried to break down the information of the departments by

giving a description of their values to later add bullet points to state how they can assist students

if they ever need help to construct their future plan regarding their career or major path. Overall,

the main goal of the organization is to inform students of the different ways they can help with

any struggles about their path by creating the brochure that consisted of the right amount of
