Students covered
The Career Services team had one staff member and no budget for outside training vendors, while larger institutions nearby ran fully staffed Career Services departments with dedicated trainers for every skill track.
"
They were never going to out-spend the bigger institutions. They just needed to stop guessing which students needed help, and use the one person they had where it mattered.

Challenge
One staff member, no vendor budget, a widening gap
With no funds for external trainers, the Career Services team's only lever was staff time, and that time was being spread evenly across a cohort with very uneven needs.
Approach
Free assessments, gap-targeted staff hours
Readiness assessments replaced guesswork, and the Career Services team used available hours to run small-group sessions targeted only at students flagged as at-risk that week.
Result
More than double the offers, same spend
Offers more than doubled year-over-year for the eligible cohort, entirely through better-targeted use of existing staff time, with no new hires and no external spend.
