=== Employment Resources for Students ===
Employment activities are the responsibility of the CAHP programs. This policy does not limit the employment services that the CAHP may provide to the students. It is intended to be a minimal guide permitting each academic program to further develop employment activities that best fit the needs of the students.
# Each program will have one office or person designated as the coordinator of employment activities for that academic unit.
# The coordinator of employment activities for each academic unit will be assigned the responsibility of coordinating employer visits to campus, career/placement days, and related activities for that academic program.
# Students are to be provided opportunities for instruction and assistance in employment activities before graduation. Examples of employment activities may be résumé development, interviewing skills, developing references, application procedures and other activities appropriate for that academic discipline. Such assistance may be offered through course work, workshops, or other methods.
# Students are to be provided opportunities for obtaining information on employment and position openings in their academic disciplines.
# Records of employment or placement rates of graduates are to be maintained by each academic program as may be required by federal regulations and accreditors.
