and the use of virtual recruiting.

We welcomed many new companies to campus

this year, including:

We continue to work closely with employers,

providing excellent customer service and conducting

strategy calls with our top companies to ensure their

recruiting needs are met. Companies appreciate our

consultative approach in helping improve their

experience throughout the year.

posting jobs with us this year increased by 15%,

Recruiter Evaluations

Bloomberg Businessweek for 2016

ranked Kelley #1 among public

universities by employers and

students. Every year since

Bloomberg Businessweek began

ranking undergraduate business

programs, career services at Kelley

have achieved an “A+” grade.

This is consistent with the recruiter

evaluations gathered from our own

surveys, where comments refer to

our staff as “attentive, helpful and

friendly.”

On a scale of 5.0 (excellent) the staff was rated 4.91. Our “net promoter” score was 86.35, as many would

recommend our organization to others. This score rose by 9% this year.

Networking Initiatives

Career Fairs: We offered three career fairs in the fall: Finance/Accounting, Consulting/IS/Supply Chain,

Marketing/Management, as well as an “All Business” fair in the spring. A total of 250 companies attended

these events with approximately 4,700 student attendees, an increase of 17% in student attendance over last

year. We hosted our first ever International Student Mini Career Fair with 12 companies and 130 student

attendees and participated in a virtual career fair managed by members of the HireBig10+ consortium. In

collaboration with five other universities, our Chinese students had access to another virtual career fair

featuring over 60 participating companies.

Job Shadow Program: A total of 172 students were selected to participate in the one-day job shadow

program (primary target is sophomores, although some freshmen also participate). Both participating

students and employers rated the program a success. The program took place during Winter Break and

Spring Break and involved 28 companies participating at various locations nationwide.

Presentations: There were 312 company

presentations/events held on campus this year.

These included information sessions, pre-nights,

office hours, and other events hosted by

employers visiting campus.

Students Served

A total of 7,084 students had an account in Kelley

Connect, our online career services system from

Symplicity.

Kelley majors account for 91% of these (6,432)

with the balance coming from other schools

on the IUB campus. In total, the percentage of

Kelley students served rose 10% over last year.

Student Services

More than 5,400 coaching appointments were facilitated by UCSO staff during 2015-16. In addition

to coaching, we offered 64 career programs with more than 4,000 attendees and 90.4% of participants

indicating a high level of satisfaction with the programs.

Student Services Highlights

Launched new Kelley Connect home page in August 2015, providing a one-stop, mobile-friendly

portal for students to access information about featured jobs and events and career resources. This

resource allows UCSO staff to effectively communicate information to students in a user-friendly

manner. Over 5,100 students have subscribed to receive a weekly email newsletter.

Developed new resume review and feedback event (Resume Review Madness) with over

280 students participating to have their resumes reviewed.

Offered a new half-day career program called “Career Burst” Training, a series of short career

workshops that give students relevant career information in preparation for the recruiting season.

Organized “Freshmen & Sophomores Only Employer Meet & Greet” held before the Spring 2016

All Business Career Fair to introduce underclassmen to career fairs and help them network with

potential employers and industry professionals. In total, 175 freshmen and sophomores participated.

Coordinated and participated in the Women in Finance & Accounting Week, including a panel

session and networking brunch in support of the Kelley School Women’s initiative.

Partnered with Fragomen Worldwide (an immigration law firm), Office of International Services

and other IUB career services offices to provide an IU-wide information session (video) on

overcoming H1B hurdles and exploring post-graduation options for international students.

Over 110 students participated.

Provided “After Study Abroad – From Kelley Passport to Career Services” program in partnership

with the Kelley Study Abroad office to help students leverage their global experience and cross-

cultural insight in their job and internship searches.

Organized Explore trips to provide students with career learning opportunities and the chance to

connect with new employers. Trip locations included Los Angeles (entertainment industry) with

17 student participants, New York City (sports/media industry) with 8 students, and Chicago

(advertising industry) with 15 student participants.

New Staff and Other Recognition

We received the 2016 “Exemplary Career Services” Award from the National Career Development

Association (NCDA). We hired Carol Maldonado as an accounting coach and to provide support for the

Help Desk, providing enhanced delivery of front-line customer service to UCSO constituents and guests.

We hired Brian Smith as a consulting coach to serve this growing area of interest and to meet increased

employer demand. Thao Nelson, Susie Clarke, and Debbie Morris presented on management and

collaboration best practices at the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) 2016 annual

conference, attended by over 2300 university career services staff and corporate employers.

Looking Forward

Key initiatives for UCSO are to continue the positive customer experience, leverage technology to enhance

engagement with students and employers, and create more opportunities for student internships and full-

time jobs.
