Career Advisory Committees: Helping CLC Prepare a Great Local Workforce

A One-Stop Resource for Employers

How are local employers getting the highly skilled local workforce they need to be successful? For many, the answer is the College of Lake County.


Over the last decade, 80 percent of Lake County employers have hired someone who has increased their skills by studying at the College of Lake County.

仅在过去的五年里,就有大约2.9万名学生通过参加该校100多个职业准备项目中的一个来磨练自己的竞争优势。

让学院的职业规划跟上当前职场需求是一项艰巨的任务,这是学院无法独自完成的任务。这需要参加公务员事务局辖下就业谘询委员会的雇主提供知识和意见。

What do the Advisory Committees Do?

CLC’s career advisory committees help the college ensure that curriculum meets workforce needs by providing feedback in such areas as:

  • Curriculum review
  • Occupational skill standards
  • Learning outcomes of specific courses
  • Industry certifications
  • New technologies, methods and practices
  • Professional development opportunities for faculty Internships and other opportunities for students

谁担任委员会成员?

Members of the career advisory committees include representatives of small business, large corporations, labor unions, faculty, secondary education instructors, recent graduates of the programs and even high-performing current students.

What’s the Time Commitment?

Participation involves attending a minimum of two meetings per year. Generally, committees have their initial meetings during the Fall Semester; the number of meetings held over the academic year varies with the committee.
