EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The economy continues to recover from the “Great Recession.” Unemployment rates are gradually declining. Silicon Valley’s economy shows positive signs of recovery and job availability continues to grow.

The SJSU Career Center experienced an increased demand for recruiting services. The number of employers connecting with SJSU for recruitment has grown significantly. As a result of the improving economy and the SJSU Career Center’s robust job development strategy, job postings increased by 26%, offering over 72,000 jobs and internship opportunities to our students, alumni, and the community in FY 2014/2015. Of those opportunities, 11,218 were internships and 40,111 were full-time. The SJSU Career Center attracted 3,068 new employers, an 11% increase from FY 2013/2014 and 4,932 new recruiters and hiring representatives, a 17% increase over the previous FY. The SJSU Career Center works with tens of thousands of recruiters and hiring representatives locally, nationally, and around the globe. The average annual earned income of students while in school increased by $474 or 4% to an average earnings of $12,051. Approximately 50% of the jobs obtained were internships. The increase in earned income is due to an increase in full-time paid internships as well as increases in employment for high wage jobs, specifically by graduate level engineering students. Some employers have also had to increase initial salary offerings to accommodate the demand in some fields. We have even seen employers in many part-time job industries like the service industry lean toward offering higher salaries to recruit and retain employees. According to a July 2015 poll of 3,602 SJSU students, in FY2014-2015 approximately 74% of students conducted a job search, 59% were currently employed and 53% of those students were new hires within the past 12 months. When polling the 2,672 students who stated that they conducted a job search, 67% had obtained employment and were new hires at some point within the past 12 months. At the time of the survey, 64% were still employed. Based on the Job and Internship Survey results, the SJSU Career Center estimates that approximately 17,000+ students obtained some form of employment in FY 2014-2015 and approximately 10,000+ of those students worked as an intern. Business Insider announced SJSU as the #1 university to get students jobs in Silicon Valley. SJSU is a recruitment choice for tens of thousands of recruiters. The top ten industries represented are 1) engineering, IT, technology 2) business, finance, professional services 3) non-profit, government, public service 4) education 5) communications, advertising, publishing 6) manufacturing & distribution 7) healthcare 8) energy, utilities, urban and regional planning 9) hospitality 10) retail, wholesale. Although the technology and business sectors are prevalent industries in Silicon Valley, the Career Center experienced significant growth in recruitment from various sectors, such as non-profit, education, communications, manufacturing, and healthcare organizations.

Employment & Workforce Opinions of Knowledgeable Students (EWOKS) Partnering with student clubs and organizations can increase employer referrals and job/internship opportunities. Student leaders are encouraged to refer employers and job leads to the Career Center, the hub for recruitment of SJSU talent. The SJSU Career Center has developed a student advisory committee that will meet four times a year and act as an ambassador network for the SJSU Career Center. This student network may identify, attract, and refer employers to the SJSU Career Center, contributing to job and internship development efforts. The student advisory committee is called Employment and Workforce Opinions of Knowledgeable Students (EWOKS) and consists of various student club, organizational, sorority, and fraternity presidents and leaders.

The SJSU Career Center works with employers to develop a customized talent acquisition strategy to sustain or grow its workforce, leveraging the SJSU student/graduate workforce as well as the workforces of various community partners. The SJSU Career Center has employment specialist liaisons to each SJSU college who work with faculty to prepare job seekers for the workforce. The employment specialists develop relationships and resources for students, faculty, and staff. Through these networks, additional employer referrals are made, contributing to greater job availability. Job & Education Development Initiative (JEDI) To sustain SJSU’s community partnerships, a collaborative of 120+ executive/management level representatives was created with representation from various government, nonprofit, and private sector media organizations. The collaborative focuses on three areas: education, workforce, and economic development. The SJSU Career Center and the Division of Student Affairs deploy the SJSU Job and Education Development Initiative (JEDI). The May 2015 JEDI meeting hosted Council-members Kalra and Peralez as part of a panel discussion and was moderated by Business on the Edge radio talk show host Margaret Jackson from KDOW 1220AM.

The EWOKS was modeled after the Job and Education Development Initiative (JEDI) and has hosted two meetings as of June 2015. Attendees: 43 Organizations represented: 20

JOB FAIRS AND OTHER RECRUITMENT EVENTS SJSU Job Fairs and Forums The SJSU Career Center hosts several targeted fairs each semester. The SJSU Career Center has sold out of each job fair during the last four consecutive years.

Due to the increase of graduate level stu udents in engin neering, these students are h high wage earn ners and increaase the ed income. average earne 18 These findin ngs are represe entative of com mparing data se ets of 2,184 suurvey participants who selectted their educaation level as freshman, ssophomore, junior or senior d during the lastt academic yeaar and classifyin ng them as und dergraduate sttudents, to 1,328 surve ey participants who selected their education level as gradduate level durring the last acaademic year an nd classifying them as graduate e level.

24

      

More graduate level students who conducted a job search in the past 12 months obtained employment than undergraduate (65% undergrad VS 70% grad) The rate of paid internships obtained by graduate level students was more than double that of undergraduate (32% undergrad VS 67% grad) The rate of full-time employment by graduate level students is more than double that of undergraduate (26% undergrad VS 61% grad) The majority of undergraduate students receive financial aid (58% undergrad VS 15% grad) Undergraduate annual income while in school: $9,081 (average) $5,000 (median) Graduate level annual income while in school: $16,642 (average) $7,500 (median) Although more graduate level students conducted a job search in the past 12 months, the employment rate of undergraduate and graduate level students at the time of the survey was nearly the same. This is because more undergraduate students had already secured a job prior to the previous 12 months. It's likely that undergraduate students were already working in parttime or seasonal jobs when entering SJSU.
