Scope of discussion
Over the past several years CAFCE and CACEE have worked collaboratively on a variety of initiatives.

• Are CAFCE and CACEE in competition or are they allies within an ever changing market?

two associations that seek to enable student employment.
Is there power in partnerships?

CAFCE/CACEE events calendar
We are identifying key dates/activities to build on each
other’s programming
Challenges in today’s education sector• Shrinking college/university budgets for membership in professional
associations along with limited attendance at conferences and PD events
• Membership overlap• Fragile volunteer base – seems to be the same people volunteering
and we are facing older, soon-to-retire, volunteer-fatigue, volunteers taking on more than one committee/working group
• Limited growth in resources: memberships, volunteers, financial, time
What other challenges you have identified?
Trends in today’s market
• Merging of co-op and career offices on campuses
• Increased emphasis on experiential learning
• Career education vs. career development (in or outside the classroom)
• Technology disrupting campus recruitment best practices (ie. employers on-campus at career fairs)
Other trends you have noticed?
Joint opportunities to consider
• Webinars• Professional Development Events• Conferences• Networking• Certification• Efficiencies• Sharing expertise and best practices• Re-invigorating interest
