The coordinator must study the relevant data about employability and market trends to identify how to implement career development processes and outcomes. The goal is to guarantee that employers see the college as a viable talent pipeline and ensure that students can consistently seek for, source opportunities, and perform optimally while on the job. The coordinator must create and deliver experiential training experiences that are tailored to the different professional fields of the graduating cohorts. In most cases, it's easier to tailor the programs to fit student needs; however, they must consistently engage with partners or organizations to understand talent needs.

Career Placement Skill Development
To offer value to students while they are in college, the basic support system that can be provided should focus on helping these students develop the basic career management skills through career exploration, resumes & cover letters, internship & job search strategies, personal branding, mock interviews, and networking advice.
Similar to the advisory role, the focus should also be on running-specific training workshops and speaker series to connect students to different approaches and perspectives of the job market and stay tuned to organizational talent needs.
Field Experience: Tours, Co-Ops, Internships or Apprenticeships
The role will also develop relevant relationships with industry players to help students take part in employer-led tours of sites which will provide students with information on the requirements of different jobs. The overall goal will have students make brief worksite visits to spend time with individual workers to learn what their jobs entail.
Additionally, students can participate in unpaid work through the partnerships that have been developed to gear them for specific skill development and integration with school learning through projects or otherwise. Students can also participate in paid work experience with employer partners. This will be similar to the unpaid work scheme; however, the former will be easier to approach as a foundation before scaling up to paid internships. Students can also take up vocational, apprenticeship and work-related classes at school or with organizations that offer hands-on experience.
