Collection Scope and Content Summary
The Career Services collection contains materials relating to the history of career placement and job training programs at Barnard College, from 1911 until 2003. The collection contains annual reports, which detail the organizational changes within the Career Services office, as well as the change in mission and role over time. The collection also contains annual reports from the Internship Program, from the years 1980 to 1989, which provided Barnard students with internships over the summer and during the intersession, in order to assist them with acquiring job skills or securing a position upon graduation from Barnard.
The Career Services collection also contains materials relating to special programs and events offered by the office, including: the Radio Summer Institute, which was a partnership between NBC and Barnard College to provide students with skills necessary for a career in radio and television broadcasting; the Vocational Conferences and workshops; and Community Service workshops, an “experimental program” designed to provide skill acquisition and counseling for women (not just Barnard alumnae) who were interested in entering or returning to the job market.
The Career Services office maintained records of student employment post graduation, from the years of 1958 to 1979. The collection also contains newsletters from the Career Services office from 1974 to 1986, which show the breadth of offerings for students from the Career Services office. Finally, the collection also contains a filing cabinet containing student aluma registration cards from 1915 to 1992.
