Quintessential Careers Site Award:
The Career Services Kiva
An award for the quintessential college, career, and job sites.
Quintessential Careers honors one career or job
site each issue of
QuintZine
with the Quintessential Careers Site
Award in recognition of quintessential
efforts in helping job-seekers.
The primary (but certainly not the only) purpose of The Kiva,
according to founder and producer Peter Vogt, "is to help college
and university career services professionals learn about
what their colleagues on other campuses are doing,
particularly in the way of programming. Wouldn't it be
nice to learn about innovative programs that have worked
elsewhere -- programs you can then adapt to your own needs
and implement on your own campus?"
In each monthly edition, The Kiva features two Innovative
Career Services Programs -- complete with details on how
they were developed and implemented.
The Kiva also features:
Research Briefs -- Brief summaries of research on career
development, particularly relating to college students, often
from sources you might not normally include in your professional reading.
In the News -- News items related specifically to college
students and new grads, careers, trends, and the world of work.
Book Reviews -- Reviews of books that are especially
useful to career services professionals and/or the students they work with.
For Your Students -- Direct links to other sites Peter Vogt
works on that are targeted at students.
Professional Development -- Links to Web sites about pertinent
conferences, professional organizations, and the like.
Career Services Jobs -- A section with links to sites that can
help you find a job in career services.
Pete's Column -- Peter Vogt shares his musings and thoughts
about college students, career development issues, and the
career-services field.
