hello my name is Jason Johnson and thank you for watching this video this video
is going to be an outtake from a student support livestream that I did for Ivy
Tech back on September 14th it features Darryl Dekker who is the
director of student services for the Ivy Tech Richmond campus and I'm just gonna
jump right into this video here and I hope it's helpful for you I am a Darryl
Dekker and I am assistant director of career development for Ivy Tech
Community College on the Richmond campus Richmond and Connersville campuses ok
first if we can just stay on this first slide here for a little bit I want to
point out that we are called career development and I want to make that
distinction simply because it's it's actually a culture change for not only
Ivy Tech but most a lot of College nationwide we again used to be called
Career Services okay and the focus then was when a student is finally finished
getting ready to graduate and they want to enter the work world that we would
offer career services to them such as interviewing resume polishing cover
letter polishing things like that the finished product is what we were looking
at but what we found is that if we don't get students on the correct career path
to begin with then it's a possibility they may not finish that certificate or
that program and they would just simply drop out of school and we wouldn't hear
from them anymore so not only would they not have a degree or certificate but
chances are they wouldn't have a job and chances are they may be paying back
student loans without that job we're trying to grab you from day one and
start grooming you for the work role at that point so that's we have a number of
tools that we use to do that so I'll try to introduce the first one if you want
to advance a slide so we do a career assessment the tool we'll use that we
use Indiana career Explorer com it's and actually it's an indiana website it's
free to any indiana resident so there's a on that indiana career explorer
there's three assessments that you take and they only take like five to seven
minutes one test your interest okay what do you
like to do you know what do you think you want to
do for a living and the other is your skills what can you do right now and
also what can you learn to do and the last one is workplace values and I would
like for you to replace the word value with culture okay
culture simply what type of environment do you work in do you want to work in a
fast-paced environment or a slower one and that's what that that last
assessment will do for you and what's the you know so why do we do this again
if you're if you're really not sure if you're not a hundred percent sure of
what you want to do what your endgame is then you know you're knocking talk and
we can figure out using those assessments maybe what career path you
should be on and then hopefully that will help us match up the right academic
program for you to be following well while you're in a BTech
that is pretty much the the Indiana career explorers what we do in the
beginning all right so what do we do in the middle there's a couple other
programs that we offer one is called workforce excellence okay and that is a
program I'll talk one more little detail about in just a second but workforce
excellence through a BTech is a it's a tremendous program this is our second or
third semester of using it and one of the reasons I'm impressed with it is
because when I show it to local employers they are impressed with it and
that's what's going to make the difference so my job now is to get you
folks to sign up for Workforce Excellence and then and then my job is
also to educate the local employers of that program so if you go into an
interview and say hey I went through the you know the Ivy Tech workforce
excellence program they're gonna know what you're going to talk about and
hopefully that will separate you from your competition now what that program
the end goal of that particular program is professional skills training and
that's what I have up on the screen now it's it's like this okay we used to call
it soft skills but that is kind of touchy feeling now you know so
professional skills has replaced that particular label what are
professional skills whether things like initiatives communication teamwork
things like that and we'll pull it up later but again there's it's a four
module program takes a little more time and effort about 35 to 40 minutes per
module but well worth it in the end the end to do print up that certificate and
take it in an interview with you also this is kind of cool we really set up
job fairs career fairs transfer fairs things like that on campuses the other
thing is we offer internships now some of our internships are excuse me some of
our academic programs we require internships however if you're an
individual who is in a program that doesn't require one but you would like
to try an internship out it used to be you just try to have to find one on your
own and beg the employer to to to bring you on but the state of Indiana has
what's called the earn Indiana program and they will reimburse an employer 50
percent of your wages if if you qualify for that and this is where now we're
into the more of the traditional career services aspect of Career Development
this is again the career fairs I've mentioned before but if you're actually
ready to to enter the workforce or you think you're ready then we can go over
other skills for you resumes cover letters how to dress for
an interview interviewing is a credibly stressful stressful procedure so we can
do mock interviews we can do them online you know over your phone over your
laptop if you want to do face to face panel we can set that up
we also offer at least on the Richmond campus we offer business etiquette
dining either a launch or a dinner once an academic year and again that is we we
set it up to where you come in you get a it's a we have a professional speaker
professional presenter come in and we just go over dining etiquette because
some of your interviews maybe a lunch or a dinner and
they want to see how you react in public and if you if you know what to do so
that's not another service we offer for our students all this is really just
tied into you know just proven to you and to our employers you have what it
takes to get a job and be a successful employee don't make the only contact
that you and I have at the very tail end of your of your academic career please
come see me first okay so what we're gonna do is we're gonna look at how if
you were a student how you would find career services or career development
and be able to obtain those services so where would we go first 20 all right
again it's WWI vtec-e d you alright so it's on the screen and the easiest thing
for you to find career development is go to the search bar and type in career and
then hopefully the very first link you pulls up will be career development okay
all right now I want to again pause on this page for just a few seconds you can
see where there's information for students and alumni information for
employers now one thing I need to emphasize is if you your student okay
all these services that I've talked about so far they're free to you as a
student now when you graduate when you get that
certificate and when you're an alumni also you have access again to Career
Development on your on your Ivy Tech campus and we'll do at least 95 percent
of those services for you still again will help you with your resume it will
help you with your cover letters will help you with interviews whatever you
need but it's still keeping on this page you can see also where we have a higher
Ivy all right now that is I don't think I mentioned this in the in the
PowerPoint presentation that's again used it's a think of it as and I hate to
use this word but it's an online job posting board okay you again would use
your Ivy Tech credentials as a student to sign into it and create an account
however right now last time I checked there was 22,000 employers on higher Ivy
okay and they're fishing for our students but let's just say you're
almost ready not quite ready to enter the workforce well again this is a tool
that you can use to submit your resume to me
my goal is to take a resume take it to the faculty member that knows the
vernacular knows the field has the contacts and then will polish it up
together and then I send it back to you and if you're happy with it you can
upload it again and make it available to employers right in the middle there is
that workforce Excellence program we were talking about for I encourage
everybody every student to get in on it it's a it's a it's a fantastic product
that's the one I was talking about that a show to employers and they're like
okay you know that's what our workforce needs this kind of training
ya know the links right down the bottom yeah and I did sign up for this
yesterday I did check a couple of the videos out I did think I did one of this
I think I did the first survey yeah so if you want to do that again Jason I
don't know if y'all going signing I think I'm signed up it looks as a
student so you're a BTech student I need for you to show they need to show
Richmond as their campus and I do that okay and then and use your Ivy Tech
email address now unfortunately I don't know Jason if you have any viewers out
there that are not avi tech students they they cannot use this okay yeah this
is strictly for for us for right now okay you know but again it's a terrific
program now what I what I started pushing recently and I didn't at first
is there's an assessment tool yeah think you got your drinks that's what I did
yesterday okay where it went through and I'll just kind of show you this is after
this is the assessment that it came up with so yeah I'm teaching but it yeah it
was fairly close I'm an introvert so when I went to the personality event and
it it pegged me all the way to the left as an introvert this collaborative about
this about the middle which is work introverts you leave all so it's yeah
and that really yields a lot of valuable information now how do you remember how
about how long it took you it probably took me about 15 20 minutes only because
some of the questions I was you know making sure I understood what I was
answering before so I would go a lot probably bout 30 minutes to go through
but it's well worth the time right it seemed when you and when a student
finishes a module you can see where the last one says visit your Career
Development Center to pick up your your prize right now I do have a and what I'm
gonna call it an interviewing kit for lack of a better word there's four
components to it there is a an Ivy Tech branded riding pin for module one an Ivy
Tech branded business card holder for module two for module three when you
complete that it's a a nice padfolio and then from completing all of them
again there's a certificate for you to print up and it's there's also a satchel
for you to carry all this into alright now if again you notice we branded this
okay so Indiana career Explorer and the website address is at the bottom of the
page there what you'll notice is when you type in Indiana career Explorer calm
that'll take you to if you think if you advance the slide I didn't I didn't have
a picture if you look in the bottom left-hand corner of the screen it says
cooter cooter was a workforce psychologist who developed the
assessments that you take in here and again this is not pop psychology this
guy came up with his system decades ago has been refined it's been
polished it's been tested again and again that these assessments are really
what the workplace is looking for and they can really be used as a guide so
again you can use this as an Indiana resident in the end a student if you're
a Nabi tech especially the Nabi take a Richmond student you can use you can get
on here and then I would be your administrator if you show so yeah it
would be important I guess to should I want to sign up as that Ivy Tech with
their Ivy Tech email address yes all right so you would there it's gonna
ask you because there's a there's a high school product and there's also a an
older stood product you know set post-secondary and
even adult but I think for our purposes I always say just show yourself as a
college student in that first box and then and this is where it gets a you
know if you if you're a student who's got 30 credit hours or less show
yourself as a freshman and then it's also gonna ask you what your what year
you expect to graduate you can put it two to three years out there's not a
whole lot of difference there but what is important is the the box that says
asks you sight center or IC e sight that's where you would just type in I
think yeah I believe so okay yeah type in IV y and that pulls up all the
different campuses and again if you're not be tech Richmond student you would
just you would show yourself as a Nabi Tech Community College Richmond if you
are taking this class online and you're from another campus you know you would
select your campus and I believe they're still showing regions right now in the
central region okay Lawrenceburg campus Madison campus summer st. Camus summer
versus saying just Richmond so I'm sure maybe that's changed okay
as we go through that I know it's official as of September 16th yeah oh
yeah official official I know one day going from divisions to schools is all
16 all right okay and then um so they just do their expected graduation you're
there yep yeah there's okay yeah and this is all
you know personal information obviously and then make sure you use your your Ivy
Tech email address yes and be much easier for me to find you if you do it
that way I know some students are reluctant to do that they want to get
the email address they want to have all their email go into one but it's just
important for tracking purposes so that we can keep keep in contact with you
based on the id Tech yes that's that's a great point
okay so we sign up put in our username and then step four we just finish that
up so even in our information here okay Moomin that's where I'll take you to now
you can there's a number of ways you can get to these assessments however you
notice there's there's three almost blank blue boxes you can just click on
each one of those while you'll click on the first one obviously work through
that again these assessments let me take you know five to seven possibly ten
minutes at the most and then once you've finished then you go back to the home
page and you would click on the middle one and keep working on your way down
from there so yeah yeah and I'm just showing you a couple a couple different
ways to but also if you Jason if you if you see the red text above it yeah this
is another site where you can use it's got very useful templates to write
resumes and cover letters however when you print those up they don't look all
that professional so I would use this as a template to plug in your information
and and then print it off look at it but they actually go into a word processing
document to to make the final finished product which then again you can even
upload to hire avi if you've created that account alright and that that's one
that it's easy to skip over I yeah I think it defaults to a four-year
degree if you don't show yourself as a two-year degree so again if you put in
the wrong level of education that you that you're hoping to attain and get
with that job it'll skew the your results like crazy and so make sure
that's accurate and then you just click the begin assessment and that's what
that's when a sample one looks like okay so much probably assessing are you
creative or you more you know towards the engineering side torie more towards
okay yep hands on no and I know some of them do you know are you're more visual
or your mornings all I'm gonna those types of things too so okay
perfect Here I am alright this is very similar to the other site as well
getting the assessments okay right yeah it's all much the same and then you can
print these reports out if you like that is you know there's a there's that
button and then yeah let's go back okay you're fine there okay and then one more
yeah so if you want to just again just just check your your interests without
doing all three you can you can pull up assessments one by one or at all using
all and you know all three so okay and yeah these are all self-explanatory
right now if you look if you see the there yeah what I what I failed to show
on the bottom of all these a second only when I print screen needs I can only get
the top maybe three four seven but at the bottom and I think of every screen
in Indiana career Explorer is another link called the Hoosier hot 50 okay same
employment information just presented in a different form and actually easier to
find but it takes you to the top ten jobs in Indiana and then obviously to
the top fifty and kind of shows the same information here if you look at that
very first one broadcast technician you notice there's four I'll call them
fireballs that that's a pretty high demand five out of five is the best that
takes an account not just the salary but also the demand for the job and if you
want and again it's one of these deals where you can just keep drilling down
getting to the weeds nationwide demand statewide demand local demand all that's
in there for you it's just a matter of you know just getting around and
clicking around I should say and then job title yeah that's another
way of if you know exactly what you want to do and you want to just get down to
that information and find the salary and the domain and stuff like that you can
use the the title search for that so for example my daughter is wanting to teach
either elementary or k12 somewhere in k-12 so she could do this and then say
okay this is gonna lead into that particular and she could get more
information on that okay yep absolutely yeah we've got a lot of a lot of
services a lot of programs I encourage you again if you're a Nabi Tech student
don't make this the only time you hear about Darryl Decker get with Jason get
with me and we'll again if you enough one of my favorite quotes is Jason gave
me a new one from Winston Churchill earlier but one of my favorite quotes is
from Mike Tyson and it goes something like everybody everybody's got a plan
until they get punched in the mouth so so good metaphorically if you get
punched in the mouth in the middle of your education and you you're thinking
about a career change or you know actually at the very
beginning then maybe career elements where you need to start and we can start
assessing and then once we get you on the path that you're comfortable with
and and you know that you want to do then we can start with all the other
services
