Career Services at UW-Stout
Career Services is a centralized office at UW-Stout which
serves students from all majors on campus. One of the main
services students use is individual appointments with professional career counselors. This is the second year we hosted a
Virtual Career Conference in which students and employers
chatted online about career related opportunities. Both the
employers and students who participated found this to be
an excellent way to connect. “Mock Interview Days” with
employers was replaced this year with a program called “Mock
Interview Plus” which gave students the opportunity to conduct practice interviews with trained peers. CareerSpots (our
online career video library) continues to add new career related
video content to our website and is utilized by many students
24/7. The BIG Guide Online is also available to students
and is one of the world’s best international career guides for
students and young professionals considering going abroad
to study, volunteer, intern, teach or work. Career Services
continues to provide cutting edge online resources to assist
students and alumni with their professional career goals.

Employment Trends
This year we saw the return of large employers to campus
recruitment with an increase in the number of employers
attending Career Conference and the number of co-op opportunities for students. Manufacturing hiring was up 25
percent according to Michigan State University’s Recruiting
Trends survey, which shows that the economy was bouncing
back. Other areas of hiring growth were engineering and
computer science.
One of the trends in recruiting this year was the increased
use of social media. According to the Michigan State survey,
92 percent of employers used LinkedIn to keep students
connected between offer and start date; 70 percent used
Facebook; and 63.7 percent used Twitter. On-campus interviews were used by approximately 75 percent of employers
responding. Companies branded themselves by attending
Career Conference and used their corporate websites extensively. The average number of days from interview to
hire was 24.7 days; and the average number of days from
offer to acceptance was 3.5 days. For employers, the future
of college recruiting will be in interactive technology such
as smart phones and iPads.
Career Services programs and individual career counselor
appointments are available to all students and alumni at UWStout. Faculty members also integrate career information
into the curriculum by inviting Career Counselors into the
classroom for presentations. Together the entire campus collaborates to help students define and build their career before
they graduate. For more information about the programs or
services offered, call Career Services at 715-232-1601.
