Career services and skills development must be an important part of an institution’s overall “academic” program. Office of Career Services (OCS) has a critical role to play in a student’s career education. Administrators need to recognize that changes in the economy will require a more prominent place for career education within their institutions and make it a priority to provide adequate levels of support for their career services offices. It is critical that the OCS partner with an array of organizations and especially those that understand the complexities of the jobs
markets as well as life after graduation.

It should be the commitment of the Office of Career Services to prepare students for the productive careers and lives of meaning and purpose during their academic life and post graduation. The proposal to set up OCS in all universities and Tertiary Institutions looked to have the OCS in all universities and tertiary institutions mirrored to other prominent OCS such as Harvard, Princeton, Oxford, University of Pennsylvania and so on that have attained prominence worldwide. The OCS will look to provide individual advising and campus wide networking events to expose the students to great opportunities.
