Turning to colleges to fill staffing
holes
Nonprofit leaders who have tried to address
the issue of too few replacements for too many soon-to-retire
nonprofit executives have directed their attention at college
placement offices.
According to Recruiting and Retaining The
Next Generation of Nonprofit Sector Leadership, authored by
Shelly Cryer for New York University’s Wagner Graduate
School of Public Service, several themes and perspectives on
nonprofit career counseling emerged from discussions with focus
groups.

From those discussions emerged:
- Senior office of career service (OCS) members do not
distinguish between sectors in counseling students. They focus
more on fields or issues.
- Students are perceived to be uninterested in nonprofit
sector careers because of low salaries, lack of career
advancement and students’ limited knowledge of the
sector.
- Service-learning and internship experiences boost interest
in and knowledge of the sector, but advisors still need to make
the connection to professional opportunities for students.
- Colleges with religious affiliations or emphasizing liberal
arts might cultivate more interest in the sector as opposed to
strictly secular schools or those known more for business or
technical programs.
- Faculty involvement and top-down institutional support
significantly enhance OCS programs, and this support depends on
networking and relationship building by OCS staff.
- The major vendors of job databases and software for the
management of content on OCS Web pages do not provide
satisfactory coverage of the sector.
- OCS directors have limited knowledge of the sector, but they
are interested in making better
connections.
