Beyond the obvious networking possibilities,
AACE provides its members with many tangible benefits on an annual
basis. These benefits make membership in AACE a “must have”
for all professionals within the educational sectors who are
involved in career planning and placement activities as well as
those employers involved in hiring recent graduates.
Additional benefits of AACE membership
include:
The Membership Directory – Published
annually, the directory lists the addresses, telephone numbers,
and email addresses of all members. It also includes additional
general organizational information.
Professional Development – Workshops are
scheduled during the winter. These sessions provide professional
in-service training experiences. This one-day workshop includes
presentations, group discussions, and idea exchanges that promote
self-improvement and learning experiences for both college and
employer needs.
Winter Workshop - Usually held the Friday
before Martin Luther King, Jr. Day in January, this one-day
workshop gives members to gather in a central location of the
state for training and educational meetings.
Annual Conference – Held each summer, this
conference offers a variety of sessions related to professional
development in the area of recruiting and training, as well as the
opportunity to hear great speakers and conduct business sessions.
In addition, members regularly use
relationships built through AACE to develop effective college
relations and recruiting programs, to utilize campus facilities
for on-campus interviewing, and to participate in Career or Job
Fairs and/or classroom presentations.
