Celebrating 100 Years of Career Services at Princeton University
1912-2012
Director’s Welcome Message
I am pleased to present the Office of Career Services’ Annual Report for 2011-2012. This year we celebrated a very special milestone—the 100 year anniversary of Career Services at Princeton! While a lot has changed since the office was founded as the “Self-Help Bureau” in 1912, one thing remains the same: Career Services’ commitment to assisting Princeton students and alumni as they develop and pursue their career goals. Throughout its 100 years, our office has encouraged students to get an early start on their career planning. Undergraduates, graduate students and alumni are encouraged to take advantage of the office’s numerous programs and resources, from one-on-one career counseling to workshops, recruiting, and networking events tailored to meet the career development needs of students during their time at Princeton and beyond.
In all of their endeavors, our dedicated team continues to successfully deliver highly personalized services as well as 24/7 accessibility via our online platforms. As part of the University’s comprehensive plan to expand our office and its services, this year we made significant strides in five strategic initiatives. We have: Expanded early, sustained, and intentional engagement of students Enhanced career-related engagement between students and alumni Strengthened partnerships inside and outside of the University Continued to emphasize the importance of internships, service, and leadership as central to career exploration and decision-making Increased student attainment of post-graduation goals I thank you for your interest in our office and invite you to explore the information contained in this report to learn more about our efforts on behalf of Princeton students as well as their post-graduation and summer pursuits. Sincerely,
Beverly Hamilton-Chandler Beverly Hamilton-Chandler, Director

We begin to engage students in the career development process as soon as they enter Princeton by sending personal invitations to all freshmen. Then, we sustain that engagement during all four years by offering customized programs and personalized services. (Please note, we also assist graduate students with career planning.) 2010-2011 2011-2012
Enhanced career-related engagement between students and alumni.
Student and alumni participation in all of our student-alumni engagement programs increased this year. We had a 12.78 percent increase overall in the Princeternship career exploration program, a 14.29 percent increase in student participation in the Princeton-in-Washington program, and more than 200 alumni participated as guest speakers and/or panelists throughout the year.
Strengthened partnerships inside and outside of the University.
We increased the number of programs offered by 28.57 percent (offering 324 programs as compared to 252 last year), in part, by developing new collaborative programs with our campus partners and alumni. Also, by expanding our employer outreach efforts, we more than doubled employer participation at our career fairs and increased our employer contacts by more than 45 percent.
Continued to emphasize the importance of internships.
This year, we expanded our individual Class programs on internship search as well as our Summer Internship Fair (moving it to Dillon Gym for the first year to accommodate more employers and students). Student participation in the Summer Internship Fair increased by 49 percent in 2012.
Increased student attainment of post-graduation goals.
We expanded our outreach to the senior class via messaging, programming, and extended walk-in hours. We also increased our efforts to help seniors (and all students) create a professional online presence using LinkedIn and other platforms. (Please see page 5 for more information about the post-graduation goals of the Class of 2012.)

Nonprofit & Government Employment Princeton in the Nation’s Service and in the Service of All Nations
20.7%
of the Class of 2012 employed in nonprofit
Over the past several years, when combining all types of employment (full-time, parttime, self-employed, military, professional sports, and participation in one-two year internships), a significant percentage of graduates have been employed by organizations in the nonprofit sector (percentage of total class). The Class of 2012 also obtained employment in a wide range of organizations within the nonprofit sector including educational institutions, health care and social assistance organizations, grantmaking and giving services, social advocacy groups, civic and social organizations, government support, and some scientific research and development services/foundations.
In reviewing the Class of 2012 survey findings, it is important to note that the NAICS industry classification system, used to identify and categorize the industries in which our graduates obtained employment, does not include nonprofit as a separate industry category. Nonprofit and government organizations are incorporated into several different NAICS categories, including, but not limited to, educational services, health care and social assistance, scientific research and development services, religious, grantmaking, and civic organizations, and public administration. Of the Class of 2012 graduates employed in all possible types of employment combined (full-time, part-time, self-employed, military, professional sports, and participation in one-two year internships), 254 obtained employment in the nonprofit sector including government and the military. (Please note, this does not include fellowship study.) A sample of nonprofit and government employers with multiple hires is included below. Employers with less than two graduates employed are not included.

he Office of Career Services promotes the value of experiential learning to students, encouraging them to pursue experiences through which they can explore career-related interests, and enhance their skills. We provide many services, resources, and events to help students connect with opportunities.

Each year, we ask students to complete a voluntary online survey to identify the ways in which they spent the summer.
