Annual Report 2015-1016
The portfolio of the Office of Career Strategy (OCS) is extremely varied and includes career advising,
experiential learning programs, event management, employer engagement, graduate and professional
school advising, and data collection of summer and postgraduate activities. As is evident throughout
this Report, the summer and postgraduate choices of our students significantly guides the priorities
of OCS. Based on the past four years’ analysis of that information, OCS has built a team focusing on
Common Good and Creative Careers, increased employer development efforts with smaller and midsize
employers, customized events and resources for graduate students and postdoctoral scholars (postdocs),
and greatly increased advising resources for undergraduate students pursuing graduate school.
In a time when many colleges are being evaluated by placement rates after graduation, 98.2% of Yale
College students in the Class of 2015 reported confirmed plans six months after graduation,1 placing
Yale among the highest in our peer school group. However, within OCS we view that high placement
rate as an additional challenge. Our mission is not to help students secure any specific post-graduate
plan; instead we seek to educate our students about all career paths, and challenge them to explore and
experiment until they find the right path for them. During the 2015-16 academic year, we took significant
steps to achieve this mission, as is discussed in this Report.

Summary of Student
and Alumni Engagement
Caroline Lynch ’17
Yale Women’s Tennis
The 2015-16 academic year was a year of strategic programmatic
growth within OCS, as we delivered comprehensive career services to
all students and alumni of Yale College, the Graduate School of Arts
& Sciences and the postdoctoral associates.
To manage the high level of student engagement, OCS continued
to offer prescheduled advising appointments as well as six hours of
walk-in advising every weekday. In addition to our main office at
55 Whitney Avenue, OCS maintained satellite offices at the Hall of
Graduate Studies, the Sterling Hall of Medicine, and Dwight Hall’s
Center for Social Justice. This past year working closely with the
Athletics Department, OCS offered career advising at Payne Whitney
Gym (PWG) every Friday as a more convenient option for our
student athletes. Finally, OCS continued to provide students with the
option of the online resume review service, which saw an increase of
more than 18% this past year. As a result of these combined efforts
OCS saw a 25.5% increase in total career development contacts from
the prior academic year.

resources available at the
Office of Career Strategy.
It was very easy to stop
by PWG for a Friday
appointment, and I’m so
glad I did. The staff are
friendly and supportive
whether you know exactly
what career you want to
pursue or have no idea.
I encourage all studentathletes to make an
appointment and make
use of these excellent
resources.

Daniel James ’19

Yale’s Career Strategy
department has been
an amazing resource for
me in my search to find
summer internships, build
my resume, and explore
career fields. The one on
one sessions are priceless.
I am able to come in with
any question on my mind,
and they are prepared to
answer my questions in
the most thoughtful and
intriguing manner. I can
honestly say that I am
no longer afraid of career
exploring, and it is all due
to Yale’s Career Strategy
department.
Preparing Students
with Career Competencies
Supporting students as they prepare to transition into a career after
Yale remains one of the steadfast goals of OCS and this year we
closely aligned our work with the National Association of Colleges
and Employers’ (NACE) newly-crafted definition of career readiness:
Career Readiness is defined as “the attainment and demonstration
of requisite competencies that broadly prepare college
graduates for a successful transition into the workplace.” These
competencies include: Critical Thinking/Problem Solving, Oral/
Written Communication, Teamwork/Collaboration, Information
Technology Application, Leadership, Professionalism/Work Ethic,
and Career Management.
Source: NACE, http://www.naceweb.org/knowledge/career-readiness-competencies.aspx
(Summer 2016)
The Career Strategy Committee within OCS, a cross-functional
team that plans career educational events for students, incorporated
these seven competencies into 98 different events and workshops
this past year. These events included 12 Google Hangout Sessions
designed to cover each of the competencies through small-group
online discussions, 34 in-person, activity-based workshops and
informational panels (serving over 800 individuals), and 52 online
workshop video presentations available to all students in Yale College,
the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, and postdocs.
One example of a new successful program was the “What is…
Series?” offered in the fall of 2015. This series included alumni panels
discussing the basics of different job functions, such as education,
consulting, finance, and global health. This series was highly valued
by students as a way to learn about the basics of various jobs from
alumni before the recruiting season began, and it will be offered again
in Fall 2016 with new career areas.
6
To encourage thoughtful decision making, the Career Strategy Committee also provides students with a
variety of resources that aid in career exploration. In addition to vetting over 50 different career-related
apps, websites, and tools during the 2015-16 academic year, the Committee developed two guides: (1) a
Milestones Worksheet, detailing specific expectations for students engaging in summer internships; and
(2) a Career Strategy Checklist, guiding students as they evaluate and incorporate their values, interests,
and skills into their career decision-making processes.
Graduate and Postdoctoral Career Services
This past year, programs and events for graduate students and postdocs continued to be generously
supported by the McDougal Endowment and the Office of Postdoctoral Affairs. During the 2015-16
year, OCS welcomed a new Director and a Senior Associate Director of Graduate and Postdoctoral
Career Services to create a team dedicated to addressing the specific career development needs of 4000+
graduate students and postdocs, a diverse population from over 120 countries. The Office also engaged
five McDougal Fellows to develop programming, enhance communications efforts, and support events.
Leveraging the advisory expertise, employer relationships, event planning, and infrastructure supporting
Yale College students and alumni, OCS has been able to provide GSAS students and postdocs with
a wealth of resources for their career planning, including numerous career strategy programs, online
materials, and extensive advising opportunities.
Complementing a portfolio of skill-building workshops on essential topics such as Career Strategy 101,
Fundamentals of Networking, Preparing for Interviewing, and Salary Negotiation, OCS offered additional
programs to respond to the specific needs of the GSAS student and postdoc populations. These included
workshops on CV to Resume Conversion, the eleven-part academic job search series, and a half day
workshop by SciPhD on “Preparing for Professional Careers,” which aimed at teaching PhDs in the STEM
fields how to communicate and market their “soft” skills as well as their technical skills.
In the upcoming year, OCS looks forward to continuing to build a robust program for graduate students
and postdocs that supports every facet of the career development process. In addition to the current slate
of programs, new initiatives designed to address specific interests within the graduate school population
have been planned. Key measures include an increased presence on West Campus, programming for
international students and postdocs focusing on the U.S. job search process, and a pre-arrival program
for one-year masters’ students who are uniquely challenged by a recruiting season that begins almost
immediately upon their arrival at Yale.

Collaborative Career Development Programming
In a continued effort to further President Salovey’s vision for “One Yale,” OCS has worked closely with
student groups, the Association of Yale Alumni (AYA), and the career offices at the Yale Professional
Schools to create a robust career services network for all students at Yale. Below is a sample list of
programs and events co-sponsored by OCS this past year.

Yale Career Network
In the Summer of 2015, OCS established a partnership with the AYA to host the Yale Career Network
(YCN), a database of alumni who are interested in networking with fellow alumni and current
students. OCS managed the transition of all existing data to this new platform, and will manage the
direct marketing of the resource going forward. One of the features of the new platform allows users to
integrate with their LinkedIn Profile, which 1,627 alumni have already done.
Since bringing the YCN to its new platform, approximately 1,050 additional alumni have joined,
bringing the total number of participants to 16,583. The new marketing efforts have included presenting
to alumni at the AYA Assembly, as well as partnerships with Yale Athletics, Jackson Institute for Global
Affairs, Yale School of Medicine, Yale Women and the Yale Alumni Nonprofit Alliance. OCS also
incorporated a number of changes based on user feedback over the past year and looks forward to crosspromoting YCN with AYA in the 2016-17 year.

Common Good and Creative Careers
The Yale College first destination data collected by OCS over the past four years consistently shows
approximately 30% of the graduating class reporting post-graduate employment in the areas of nonprofit, social enterprise, government, NGO’s and education. To assist students as they prepare for these
careers, OCS further increased the educational and professional development opportunities. As part
of this priority, OCS created the Common Good & Creative Careers brand, in order to appropriately
describe this initiative which includes advising, workshops, alumni connections, job postings and
employer development in the areas of nonprofit, government, education, arts and communications.
Support for Government, Education and Non-Profit Careers
As part of the new “What Is…Series?” OCS included programs on education and nonprofit, introducing
students to the large variety of functional roles found within these industries. Both of these programs
were purposely scheduled early in the fall, during the busy recruiting season of private sector
organizations, to enable students to learn about these career options before making choices.
After inspiring students to explore opportunities within public service through the “What is?” Series
OCS offered a series of networking events that brought public service employers to campus. The third
annual Education Networking Event showcased 19 employers, including World Teach, Choate Rosemary
Hall, and Blue Engine. The second annual Government Networking Event hosted 14 employers such
as the Central Intelligence Agency, the U.S. Department of State, and the City of New Haven’s Office
of Economic Development. The first ever Nonprofit Networking Event was also a success with 18
employers including the Open Society Foundation, Planned Parenthood, and Dalberg Consulting. The
second annual Public Interest Internship Fair offered students the opportunity to get the inside scoop
on working for these employers. The event had former student interns representing over 20 nonprofit
organizations and government agencies. In total, approximately 300 students attended these events.
OCS also strives to engage Yale students in more intimate conversations with individual practitioners
throughout the academic year. During the 2015-16 academic year, the Office hosted a number of career
lunches and information sessions including a round-table discussion with Governor Gina Raimondo and
visits by the CIA, the Clinton Foundation and the United Nations.
In addition to increasing events on campus, the Common Good and Creative Careers team within
OCS developed valuable partnerships with peer schools to increase opportunities through consortium
recruiting events, enabling multiple schools to coordinate employer visits and interviews in one
10
location. In order to support travel expenses associated with these events, OCS has continued the
successful travel reimbursement program allowing seniors to receive a one-time reimbursement
of $100 for an interview with a government agency, a nonprofit organization, or an arts audition,
including travel to a consortium event.

Support for Arts Careers
During the 2015-16 year, OCS hired a new, full-time associate director dedicated to student outreach,
career programming, and faculty, alumni, and employer development in the arts, allowing us to build on
the foundational relationships already established, and extend our relation to the arts community at Yale.
Yale has long been considered a university of significant artistic accomplishment. With its rich
extracurricular arts production, and some of the most respected arts professional schools in the nation,
Yale is commonly referred to as the “Arts Ivy.” According to the 2015 Senior Destination Survey, arts
and media related jobs accounted for 13.3% of all post-graduate placement. This aggregated category
includes: Publishing/Media, Entertainment/Film, Fine and Performing Arts, and Architecture/Design.
This combination of sub-categories represented the 4th largest grouping of job placement. Additionally,
if we were to include the Communications based category, which commonly offers a transferable career
path to creative arts interested students, we find the overall Arts/Communications category accounted
for 17.0% of all job placement. This combination of sub-categories represented the 2nd largest grouping
of job placement.
As we further expand the programming and resources OCS offers students, it is essential that we find
additional ways to include this previously undersold message as part of the overall OCS branding to
student, faculty, alumni, and employers.

Increased Opportunities and Student Engagement
Based on job posting data, overall arts related opportunities have demonstrated a consistent growth
pattern over the last three years. The upward trajectory began with 350 arts-related postings in 2013-14
and has extended to a new high of 433 posted arts opportunities through August 15 of this year.
Of particular interest is the movement in student applications over the past three years. The downturn
in 2014-15 aligns with a state of transition in OCS; however, in Fall ’15 the office re-established
communication channels with students and student-led organizations throughout the arts community.
The result was a significant increase to 1,068 arts related student applications through August.

OCS Arts Programming
In developing a series of OCS-driven programs, we focused first
on expanding partnerships with other arts programs offered across
campus. It was important that we increase our awareness of this
supplemental programming in order to advertise these events and
target our own programming to any existing gaps. Through this
process we were able to publicize 25 career arts oriented events
through the OCS newsletter, OCS Arts emails, and communication
with faculty and student led organizations resulting in an estimated
attendance of 685 students at these events. At the same time OCS
focused on 8 specific events, yielding an estimated attendance
of 230 students.
Highlights of our co-sponsored programs included multiple events
developed with the faculty led Digital Media Center for the Arts
(DMCA), the student led Yale Drama Coalition (YDC), and the
student led Yale Film Alliance. Two of our best attended events
were an expansion of the YDC sponsored careers in theater series

The ability to offer a variety of quality experiential learning programs
remains a primary focus of OCS and in the summer of 2016 the
Office offered more than 420 opportunities in the U.S. and abroad.
These Yale-Coordinated internships support Yale undergraduate
students in their transition from student to professional, and
facilitates career exploration and personal independence. The
Programs immerse students in a substantive professional experience
for at least eight weeks during the summer, and provide continuous
professional guidance and support from career advisors through oneon-one sessions, virtual group advising, professional development
tips, and on-campus programming before and after the experience.
I would definitely
recommend this program
to any Yale student.
Throughout the development of these coordinated opportunities, a
deliberate effort is made to offer experiences across a wide range of
career fields. This breadth provides students with the opportunity
to identify meaningful ways in which their liberal arts education
can be implemented in a professional capacity and within the larger
community. At the same time some programs, such as the Block
Journalism Internship program (10 interns for summer 2016) and
the William F. Buckley Jr. Internship program (5 interns for summer
2016) continue to serve a specialized field, in this case journalism.
Through this program I
have had the amazing
opportunity to intern at
a magazine that I have
heard of and read since I
was little. To say this was a
dream come true would be
an understatement. Yale’s
internship program has
also been an efficient and
organized way for me to
browse through a diverse
selection of programs and
allowed me to consider
many opportunities that
otherwise would have
gone unnoticed.
Bulldogs Across America
The Bulldogs Across America Program remained strong in 2015-16,
with 179 positions netting 923 student applications (in Louisville
KY, Denver CO, Minneapolis MN, New Orleans LA, Cleveland OH,
Houston TX, and St. Louis MO). The total number of positions
offered represented a very small decline (3%) from the 2014-15
academic year, while the student applications represent a 17%
increase. As in years past, the BAA programs intermix experiential
learning in the form of internships with locally-based activities to
help showcase the regional, cultural, and civic aspects of each city.

before, but in fact,
knowledge about human
and social psychology
is crucial to developing
eye-catching, effective

internship surprised me by
expanding my views
on what I can do with my
Yale degree.
Yale Entrepreneurial Institute (YEI) Innovation Internships
This year marked the debut of the YEI Innovation Internships
Program, a collaborative program between OCS and YEI. The program
was developed to provide internship opportunities for students
interested in start-ups and entrepreneurial efforts, from technical
and engineering roles to marketing and business development. In its
inaugural year, the YEI Innovation Internships yielded 9 positions
in New Haven, San Francisco, and New York City. These positions
proved popular among students, netting a total of 51 applications.
Yale Alumni Community Service Fellowships (YACSF)
For over twenty years, YACSF has placed students in paid eight-week,
community service positions in cities across the United States and
the fellowship covers the housing expenses. The program provides
students with the opportunity to spend a summer developing a
working understanding of nonprofit organizations and interacting
with Yale alumni. For the summer of 2016, YACSF filled a record
high 27 positions including, Cooper’s Ferry Partnership, Greenwich
Library, Advocate for Human Rights, 92nd Street Y, Randall’s Island
Park Alliance, Primo Center for Women and Children, Training Early
Achievers for Careers in Health and many more. OCS works closely
with the alumni clubs who both fund this program and choose the
employers. We also provide weekly professional development tips,

Yawkey Community Service Fellowship
Through the generosity of the Yawkey Foundation, OCS was able to
support the new Yawkey Community Service Fellowship in summer
2016. This program places undergraduates in funded nonprofit
positions in Connecticut, Rhode Island and Boston with a $5,000
stipend. For the 2016 summer, four fellowship positions were offered
with the following organizations: Save the Children, Innovations
for Poverty Action, The Bridgespan Group and The Environmental
Defense Fund. All of the positions were filled and application
numbers totaled 100. There was a pre-departure session prior to
the internship, weekly professional development emails sent to the
interns, mid-summer check-ins with the employers and interns, and
a re-entry program in the fall.
I grew professionally in
many regards. I learned
how to conduct tours
and advocate for an
organization that is
doing amazing work. I
got to experience just
how vital social media is
to an organization in the
21st century and see how
much of a generation gap
there is in the ability to
use social media. I learned
how to really work a
crowd, network, and meet
amazingly genuine people
along the way. Further,
I learned that working
with youth and seeing
them excel in different
skill sets was something
that warmed my heart
in a way that I wasn’t
expecting.
Women in Government Fellowship
The Women in Government Fellowship encourages Yale
undergraduates to pursue political careers by participating in
challenging internships with elected representatives in Congress or
in other political arenas. The fellowship also allows the recipients to
attend the weeklong Women’s Campaign School, a five-day intensive
course at Yale Law School on the basics of running a successful
political campaign. Each selected fellow receives business cards,
literature on women’s political participation, reflection prompts
throughout the summer, access to special events in Washington, DC,
and special programming throughout the academic year. An annual
reflection lunch is also organized by OCS in September for all the
recipients and the program donor.

Raimondo’s Office
As a policy intern in Governor
Raimondo’s Office, I worked
on a wide variety of issues,
including broadband,
cybersecurity, climate
change, criminal justice,
education, food justice,
healthcare, insurance, living
wages, medical marijuana,
paid sick leave, renewable
energy, transgender rights,
and voting laws. Governor
Raimondo talked to all of the
summer interns about the
responsibility to get involved
in government and to make
a positive change in our
society. She talked a lot about
being a trailblazing woman,
and how women and other
underrepresented groups
have an extra obligation to
serve, to break down biases,
and to lead the way for others
to follow. She used to look
up to Hillary, and now she
is a Hillary for me and for
my generation.

The fellowship, now in its fifth year, has quickly gained popularity
on campus with 23 applicants for the 2016 summer. Six fellows
were ultimately selected for the fellowship and secured internships
with employers such as U.S. Senators Joni Ernst and Richard
Blumenthal, the White House Council on Women and Girls, the
U.S. Interagency on Homelessness, the National Partnership for
Women and Families, and the Outreach and Public Engagement
Office of Governor Gina Raimondo.
The Dara Rei Onishi ’97 Fellowship
In conjunction with the Yale Education Studies Scholars Program,
OCS coordinates the Dara Rei Onishi ’97 Fellowship, an opportunity
that supports students engaging in education-related opportunities
during the summer. Recipients of the Onishi Fellowship receive
$3,500 to cover their living costs while engaged in an unpaid summer
internship. In 2016, its third year, one of the recipients worked for
the Office of the Secretary of Education in Washington, DC, focused
on the implementation of Every Student Succeeds Act and the My
Brother’s Keeper initiative. The second 2016 Onishi fellowship
recipient worked for the West Virginia Department of Education
in Charleston, West Virginia, and a portion of his time is dedicated
to working on the state’s Early Childhood Council projects. Onishi
Fellows participate in a pre-departure meeting with OCS and produce
reflection essays at the end of the summer.
Yale in Hollywood
An alumni led, OCS coordinated internship program for students
seeking summer opportunities in the entertainment industry, the Yale
in Hollywood internship program was revitalized this past year.
After two significant down years, OCS stepped more directly into the
outreach process, expanding the alumni channels and moving the
timetable forward to the late Fall rather than the following Spring.
In addition to setting a new high mark with 36 opportunities, those
opportunities received 274 applications and resulted in 29 offers. An
important component of these improvements was strong alumni

partnerships. Given this year’s success, the earlier staging and extension
of outreach will be incorporated into future iterations of the program.
Tremaine Contemporary Arts Internship
This past year OCS took over the management of the Tremaine
Contemporary Arts Internship, providing a funded arts research
position through the New Haven based Emily Hall Tremaine
Foundation. The transition occurred relatively late in the year, but
we were able to establish a clean and sustainable process for the
future. The success of this model has opened doors for potential
future funded arts opportunities, in collaboration with the Dean for
the Arts in Yale College.

Tremaine Foundation
Intern
My internship with the
Tremaine Foundation went
fabulously well. I learned
so much, especially about
the world of philanthropy,
family foundations, and
the art scene in the latter
half of the 20th century.
I came away from the
internship with a list of
concrete accomplishments
– like creating an online
archive of 150+ artworks
once in the Tremaine
collection and 150+ events
historically relevant to the
Foundation – and new
skills – like how to acquire
rights and permissions
for images!
Yale-Coordinated International Internships
Yale-Coordinated International Internships provide undergraduates
the opportunity to work in a professional, international environment
through positions with Yale alumni and affiliates. During the 2014-15
academic year, in response to declining participation numbers in our
international internship program, OCS conducted a thorough review
of the program and concluded that increased marketing efforts were
necessary to ensure all students were aware of these opportunities.

Lina Goelzer ’19
Amman, Jordan
Oasis500 Internship
Living and working
abroad gave me a sense
of resourcefulness,
confidence, and
intercultural
understanding that
cannot be replicated. It
was an amazing transition
between freshman and
sophomore year. I know
that I would not have
found the internship
without OCS and CIPE. The Yale program in
Jordan is pretty handsoff, which I really
enjoyed because I had
a sense of freedom and
independence without
feeling completely
disconnected from Yale.
OCS initiated several new efforts to increase the visibility of these
opportunities. In collaboration with student groups, available
positions were categorized into areas of interest and sent to students
directly from the student organizations. In addition, positions
were sent to academic departments by region. Positions were also
advertised through the weekly OCS newsletters, the Dwight Hall
newsletter, the Residential College Dean’s weekly emails, and
the Athletics Department. OCS also hosted several events in the
residential colleges, including a tailored resume preparation series.
Expansion of the Ambassador Program created 13 informal
student-led lunches and dinners in the Residence Halls, providing
opportunities for peer-to-peer sharing in familiar settings. The
new Facebook Spotlight social media campaign shared Program
Ambassadors’ stories and advice to peers on the OCS Facebook
page in a lead up to the opening application date. Increased efforts
to collect photos from locations both domestically and around the
world resulted in 107 new program and office photos shared with
students. As a result of these efforts, student applications increased
41% from the prior year; however, the overall program size
decreased nine percent.

The students in the Summer 2016 Yale-coordinated International
Internships Program held internships in 26 cities across 20 countries.
Over two-thirds of Yale-coordinated International Interns had
completed their freshman or sophomore year. Eighteen percent of
students in the program accepted internships with new employers.
Twelve new employers joined the program creating new opportunities
in Belgium, Israel, Malaysia, Singapore, China, the Netherlands, and
England. In Israel, two startups welcomed three Yale interns; three new
for-profit employers welcomed three additional interns in London; and
the strong outreach by the Yale Club of Brussels resulted in a revival of
club activities and involvement with the Yale-coordinated interns, as
well as three new employers who each accepted a Yale intern.
In the summer of 2016, the 91 participants in the OCS-coordinated
international internship program received the highest level of advisor
support ever provided. New experiential learning initiatives were
piloted in summer 2016 in the form of virtual workshops. The
format was crafted to address the seven NACE Career Readiness
Competencies. During the course of the internship period, students
received weekly professional development emails; most with open
rates over 80%. In-country programming was also expanded to focus
further on professional development. For example, in Madrid the Yale
Club of Spain organized a site visit to the Banco de España, while
in Buenos Aires a series of ‘coffee chats’ were hosted at the offices of
Yale-coordinated employers for students to explore the variety of
organizations in the program.

TITAN S.A. Internship
This was my first
internship-- and working
for a foreign company
was such a unique way to
see how the “real-world”
works. It was an incredible
opportunity to be able
to work for TITAN; my
coworkers and supervisors
were so supportive from
day one. I feel as though
I walked away not only
having learned so much
about CSR but with so
much more confidence
professionally. I think
the program offers niche
internships that one
would find difficult to find
on his/her own, and I am
so grateful that I had the
chance to not only learn
from TITAN, but to be
immersed in a new culture
for the summer.

Yale Treks Program
In an effort to expose students to a wide range of career functions, OCS again collaborated with
employers across an array of industry sectors to organize Yale Treks over Spring Break. These shortterm experiences varied from shadowing experiences to educational sneak-peaks into the day-to-day
work of various professionals. The 24 participating employers represented the advertising, consulting,
communications, consumer products, education, finance and technology industries. A total of 26
students submitted 55 applications, and 17 students participated.
The 2015-16 Yale Treks Program included activities such as:
·· Introduction to school model and shadowing of teachers at Success Academy Charter Schools
·· Presentation at S&P Ratings about what it takes to work for a leading provider of credit research
·· Meeting and participating in an informal conversation with the CEO of Khan Academy
·· Presentation and Q&A with the Talent Acquisition team at Grey Advertising
·· Shadowing traders and business managers at Bunge as they advised customers on the commodities
and foreign exchange markets
The feedback on this program remains extremely strong with participating employers citing the Yale
Trek Program as a great way to meet students and brand their organization at Yale, and students
reporting a better understanding of the organization, and the roles available within that organization.
Future plans include greater collaboration with student groups and the development of a marketing
campaign to increase students’ awareness and participation for the 2017 program.
Yale Artist Apprenticeships
As a new initiative, the Spring ’16 Artist Apprenticeship program was created to provide short-term
opportunities within industries underserved by the more traditional internship model, our pilot
program focused on the visual arts. In coordination with the School of Art, OCS offered 13 artist and
arts studio engagements over Spring Break that resulted in 20 student applications. Of the 9 offers
made, 5 were ultimately accepted by the students. The other 4 were turned down due to the difficult
financial burden of commuting and residing near the artists, many in and around New York. Five of
the spring break opportunities were rolled into longer-term summer internship engagements.
The pilot can be considered a success in terms of the engagement of faculty and their artist peers;
however, the program will only become sustainable, and fully viable to students regardless of
individual financial conditions, if funding can be made available to help support the expense to
student participants.

The Yale Summer Events in
SF program was one of the
best parts of my summer.
Whether it was at pool
parties to food truck festivals,
this program allowed me to
spend time with amazing
members of the Yale
community, even when I was
thousands of miles away
from New Haven. I feel so
lucky to have been able to
participate in so many fun
activities and meet so many
new Yalies, all while enjoying
my beautiful hometown.

The Yale in DC program was
an amazing opportunity
to connect with Yale alum
in the area. I was able to
connect with people in fields I
never would have discovered
otherwise and get crucial
input into how to make the
most of my Yale career from
someone who is years out. It
was an integral part of my
summer in DC.

Yale Summer Events
Yale Summer Events in Washington, DC, New York, and San
Francisco continued to offer valuable career, cultural, political, and
social events for students and alumni in these metropolitan areas
during the summer. These three programs are managed by student
directors under the leadership of OCS. During the summer of 2016,
these programs engaged over 1,000 students from Yale College, the
Graduate School of Arts of Sciences, and Yale Law School in 140
diverse programs. Yale students networked with representatives
from a variety of industries, met Yale alumni, attended career
panels, and participated in conversations with renowned individuals
from around the world.
Over the past four years, OCS has continued to partner with alumni
clubs in 12 additional domestic cities (Atlanta, Boston, Chicago,
Houston, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Miami, Orlando, Philadelphia, San
Antonio, Santa Fe, & Seattle) to foster deeper ties between alumni
who live in these cities and Yale students who are spending their
summers in these areas. These ties take the form of structured events
or outreach offerings for the purpose of expanding professional
networks. During the summer of 2016, OCS facilitated the
connection of 113 students with alumni in these metropolitan areas.
Graduate and Professional School Advising
According to the Class of 2015 first destination data, 20% of respondents were attending graduate
school in the fall of 2015, with almost half (49.2%) of those students pursuing a master’s degree or a
PhD. Additionally, 78.1% of respondents stated that they planned to attend graduate school within five
years of their graduation. Given this upward trajectory in comparison to our 2014 statistics, OCS has
continued to build our resources for students and alumni pursuing a master’s degree or a PhD.

For the 2015-16 academic year, we once again hired two Yale graduate student peer advisors – one STEM
PhD and one humanities/social sciences PhD – to advise approximately 100 students and alumni. This
year, we also developed and led a six-part graduate school workshop series aimed at helping students
at different stages of the graduate school application process; these workshops were coordinated in
conjunction with the Residential Colleges and Yale’s Writing Center. Using the same content, OCS also led
a webinar on the graduate school application process with over 100 alumni registrants. We rounded out the
year with a series of four writing bootcamps, where students worked on their personal statements with the
support of our graduate peer advisors. OCS will continue this advising and workshop series for the 2016-17
academic year.
Health Professions Advising
The Health Professions Advisory Program serves undergraduates and alumni in Yale College, graduate
students in the Graduate School of Arts & Sciences, and postdoctoral associates interested in pursuing
careers in the health professions, including but not limited to allopathic, dental, veterinary medicine,
and public health. Through extensive academic and career advising, educational events, and interactive
workshops OCS challenges students to make conscious and thoughtful decisions about their future path
in the health professions field. Guidance is provided during the professional school application process
and information is available about post-baccalaureate pre-medical programs for those who elect to
complete their science pre-requisite courses after college.

The overall acceptance rate for first-time Yale College applicants this past year was 85%, as compared

The total number of applicants (209) represents a 34-person increase from the 2014 cycle (175). In April
2015, the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) implemented a revised Medical College
Admissions Test (MCAT). Many students elected to sit for the older version of the MCAT and chose to
apply in this cycle before the scores expired, which is most likely the cause of the application increase.
Law School Advising
OCS provides a broad range of pre-law services to both students and alumni of Yale College and the
Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. These services include one-on-one advising, walk-in hours,
application workshops, law school admission visits and a wide range of online resources. This year
OCS hosted its inaugural Law and Legal Services Networking Event in which many sectors of the legal
profession were represented.
There were 283 Yale student and alumni applicants to law school in the fall of 2015, which was a 10%
increase from the previous year. Although more than half of the applicants applied one to three years
after graduation (53%), an increasing number of applicants apply in their senior year. During the past
year there was a 43% increase in seniors applying to law school over the previous year. Yale continues to
have one of the highest admission rates to law school in the county at 91%, compared to the national rate
of 78%.
26
Employer Relations
Based on the first destination data collected by OCS over the past four years, approximately 50% of the
Yale College graduating class consistently chooses mid-size or smaller employers – employers with less
than 500 total employees. This data, coupled with the fact that approximately 30% of these graduates
report post-graduate employment in the areas of non-profit, social enterprise, government, NGO’s and
education, has dispelled many myths around the post graduate choices of Yale College students.
In addition, when asked how they found their job, the largest single source cited by graduates
(approximately 20%) was the employer database and job posting system maintained by OCS. As of
August 2016 the OCS Employer Database housed contact information for 12,015 employers across the
globe, many of which were smaller employers and connections made through Yale alumni. During
the 2015-16 academic year 1,247 employers advertised 2,334 jobs though the OCS job posting system.
Although a valuable source of opportunities, the on-campus interview program has consistently been
cited as the source of employment for less than 13% of the graduating class.
Armed with this important data, during the 2015-16 year OCS restructured two staff positions to
focus more closely on deeper employer relations across all sectors for students in Yale College, and
the Graduate School of Arts & Sciences and for postdocs. This new Employer Relations team will
serve as the bridge between employers and our students, educating organizations about the distinct
qualifications of our students and the great diversity of their career interests.
A New Approach to Employer Relations
The OCS Employer Relations team solicits input from students to identify desired industries and
employers, and supplements that information with secondary research. With thorough research the
team stays abreast of economic trends across industry groups and geographic locations, and works
closely with employers, industry associations, the Yale professional schools, and Yale alumni. The
Employer Relations team challenges itself to attain an in-depth understanding of various industries,
and their recruiting objectives and challenges, so that OCS can provide strategic advice and become a
partner in their recruiting efforts.
The approach of the Employer Relations team is a data-driven approach to managing relationships,
through which we establish clear targets and goals for employer development, and track our progress
against those goals. OCS provides several recruiting options for employers including information
sessions; industry specific networking events; job and internship postings, on-campus interviewing;
27
Yale Treks; mock interviews; student organization collaboration;
and employer office hours.
With rapidly changing developments in recruiting and a heavier
reliance on recruiting technologies, such as virtual interviews,
OCS strives to be at the forefront of these trends and ensure we
represent the best interests of our students. One such example, is
the adoption of the Public Service/Public Interest exception, an
initiative to allow Yale students more time to pursue opportunities
in public service before having to commit to a private sector
position. This new OCS policy states:
The Office of Career Strategy has implemented a policy in which
Yale students may request that a for-profit employer extend the
deadline to accept the employer’s offer until as late as April 1 if
the candidate is actively pursuing positions with public interest,
government organizations, or a national fellowship award.
Candidates may hold open only one offer in such circumstances.
In the year ahead, the Employer Relations team within OCS looks
forward to further enhancing this strong employer base to ensure
alignment with students’ interests.
Industry Networking Events
During the 2015-16 academic year, OCS organized 12 industry
specific networking events as a way to facilitate career related
connections between students and employer representatives from
various industry sectors. In total, approximately 1,200 students
attended these events and approximately 200 organizations were
represented.
These networking events have been well received by both students
and employers, as they allow for in depth one-on-one conversations
at venues across campus. Students gain exposure to career paths
and available opportunities across a multitude of fields and
organizations, and employer representatives from both the public
and private sectors are afforded a cost-effective way to build their
brand on campus and recruit Yale talent.

On-Campus Recruiting Program
Through Yale’s On-Campus Recruiting Program (OCR), students meet and interview with employer
representatives for full-time jobs and/or internship opportunities in various sectors. This program
is primarily a tool for large organizations that can anticipate their hiring needs 8-10 months in advance.
Participating organizations from the 2015-16 recruiting season included firms from the financial services
sector (43%), firms from the consulting sector (24%), and an additional 4-5 employers from each of the
following sectors; communications, education, legal, real estate and technology.
OCS maintains strong relationships with participating OCR organizations with the vast majority of
these firms interviewing and hiring Yale talent every year. In addition, 22 new employers recruited on
campus this past season offering additional opportunities for students to consider analytical, business
development, research, risk management and strategy type roles.

Alumni Career Services
During the 2015-16 year, OCS provided a full range of services and
resources to support alumni of Yale College, the Graduate School
of Arts and Sciences, and postdocs seeking career advice. The Office
continued to add to the list of external career coaches throughout the
U.S. who are trained to work with alumni, and to build a comprehensive array of online services created specifically for the career development needs of alumni. OCS did experience a significant increase
in alumni seeking advice from the Office during this past year. The
Career Management Webinar Series for Alumni had over 1500 alumni
registrants, and OCS experienced over a 300% increase in advising
appointments for alumni who graduated between 1970 and 2015.
Conclusion
Ari Meyers
Yale College 1991
Over the past three years, OCS has created a strong foundation of
career advising, educational programming and partnerships across
Yale. During the 2015-16 academic year, we successfully built expertise for our students in the Graduate School of Arts & Sciences and
the postdocs, further expanded our outreach and opportunities for
students interested in Common Good and Creative Careers, and created an Employer Relations team to represent the interests of all our
students. At the same time, OCS successfully maintained its existing
large portfolio, including graduate and professional school advising
for undergraduates, experiential learning programs and extensive
data collection. In the year ahead we look forward to furthering the
career opportunities for all our students, educating them about their
choices, and working on a national level to preserve these choices.
I used OCS services to
help me navigate a
career change into the
field of Nursing and
the graduate school
application process. The
OCS advisor was
incredible to work
with. Her insight
and expertise were
invaluable. Working
with her made me
feel clear about my
choices and confident
about my application
materials. I have now
graduated with an MSN
and am a registered
nurse. I am so grateful
that Yale has this
resource for alumni,
and would definitely
utilize it again. 31
