In my university, I am establishing students Career development Center. The challenges I am facing are how to furnish the offices at different colleges (11) which are at different centers in Addis ababa city. The resources needed and how the students would get benefited from the office are some of the initial challenges to get through this office development. what are the basic and areas of the office to give to students in line with career development and entrepreneurial skill development? Please can you give me advice and resources from the experience of your organization?

Hi Kassu,
i am mentor for some young founders and students. My Experience is that institutional career & founder support is very important and a good platform. In my opinion it s than important to Furnish this platform with every possible kind of tool/event/... to bring the students in contact with people from outside the university. Maybe seniors with a lot of experience or former students with career experience. e.g. I participated in "speed mentoring" days where a lot of questions of founders were answered. Make it easy and informal by the way.
Good Luck
Rudi
A Roadmap for Transforming the College-to-Career Experience, available at https://prod.wp.cdn.aws.wfu.edu/sites/74/2013/05/A-Roadmap-for-Transforming-The-College-to-Career-Experience.pdf, recommends that proponents should:
- Develop a bold vision and mission for personal career development;
- Secure backing from institutional leadership;
- Strategically position the personal and career development leadership role;
- Strategically transform, build, and align personal and career development organization and staff;
- Gather and report personal and career development outcome data to all constituents; and
- Engage and equip a college-to-career community of influencers with a focus on faculty and parents.
