Editor's Notes
- - walk through the new Bio-Link careers site - - talk about things we ’ re doing with social media - the role we see for the Bio-Link web sit as a location for community knowledge through this - mention areas where we ’ re actively looking for collaboration
- Lots of needs to meet & students at different points in career learning Hit some of the highlights Students can search by education level, area, and salary - Then look at boxes on bottom Videos - go to video slide
- We know reading Biotech job descriptions is a challenge - Biotech TLAs are incomprehensible (a TLA is 3 letter acronym) - The best way for students to learn this by using flash cards and quizzes.
- Wanted to highlight our graduates and illustrate careers with real people 1. videos - videos that show people working in different areas 2. photo journals - get your graduates to submit these, we add a link to your program page on Bio-Link, and pay them.
- From the job description pages, we can find the amount of education required, and we link to the Bio-Link site, where we can find biotech programs that offer the right certificates and degrees.
- Clicking a link uses a pre-constructed query and searches the job sites
- - through this - mention areas where we ’ re actively looking for collaboration
- Change from one central place controlling what other ’ s could do to more of a democratic system, where programs could all participate Voices aren ’ t just speaking on the web site - we want everyone ’ s voices
- talk more about this on Thursday- our presence on social media is growing, especially with LinkedIn I ’ ve been writing to the job recruiters to get them to post in our LinkedIn site
- How to find our social media areas
- If your program posts information - will anyone know? We can use Google Analytics and tell you.
- If your program posts information - will anyone know? We can use Google Analytics and tell you.
- In 2010 - 8 programs - now 74 Many people are entering information on their program pages
- capture and combine all of that data By capturing that data - and combining it - we can add value
- This kind of data provides a sort of validation for programs. You can go to employers, say you ’ re a Bio-Link program, and show them where other Bio-Link students are employed. Plus - you have a transparent employment record for companies and students in your area
