FAQs

Alumni relations and career services should be audited annually, with more frequent reviews recommended for specific programs or initiatives, especially in response to changing job market trends or alumni feedback.

The audit team should include alumni relations officers, career counselors, employer relations specialists, student affairs representatives, faculty members, alumni volunteers, and quality assurance personnel to ensure a comprehensive evaluation.

The checklist covers areas such as alumni database management, fundraising initiatives, mentorship programs, career counseling services, job fairs and recruitment events, internship programs, professional development workshops, and alumni networking platforms.

By systematically reviewing alumni and career support processes, the checklist helps identify engagement gaps, ineffective career preparation strategies, missed networking opportunities, and areas for enhancing alumni contributions to the institution.
