Indeed’s goals are very similar to those of Southwestern’s Center for Career & Professional Development (CCPD), which has won numerous awards and is committed to providing thorough, coordinated support for professional development to prospective students as soon as they enroll and for the rest of their lives as alumni.
The oldest university in Texas, Southwestern was established in 1873 as a result of a resurgence of collegiate charters that had been awarded as early as 1840.
The institution has been traditionally associated with the United Methodist Church and holds accreditation from both the National Association of Schools of Music and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.
Founded in November 2004, Indeed, Inc. is an American job listing website with a global reach. It is Recruit Holdings’ separate subsidiary, a multinational corporation. Its offices are spread out over the globe, and its main offices are in Austin, Texas, and Stamford, Connecticut.
Its main feature, which is a single topic search engine, is another illustration of vertical search. At the moment, Indeed is accessible in 28 languages and more than 60 countries.
In October 2010, Indeed.com overtook Monster.com to take the lead as the most popular employment website in the US.
The website collects job postings from thousands of websites, such as career pages for companies, associations, staffing companies, and job boards. They make money by charging recruiting organizations and employers for premium resume and job posting capabilities. Indeed started enabling job hunters in 2011.
Matt Berndt, the head of Indeed’s Job Search Academy, said:
In order to make all of its tools and services easily accessible to job seekers, Indeed established the Job Search Academy. Not only do we assist individuals in finding employment, but we also support them in managing their long-term careers, evaluating prospects, writing resumes, and getting ready for interviews.
Adrian and his colleagues at the Center for Career & Professional Development are doing fantastic work with Southwestern students and graduates, and I hope that the resources provided by the Job Search Academy will enhance their efforts. Having Southwestern University as a partner makes us very happy.
Adrian D. Ramirez, the CCPD’s director, expressed his excitement by saying:
We are happy to provide our alumni and students with the Indeed Job Search Academy. It takes awareness of and ongoing exposure to career development best practices to conduct an efficient job search. A vital part of the process is provided by the Job Search Academy. We want alumni and students to use this resource to further their present and future academic objectives. We appreciate the chance to work with on this new project, Indeed.
More than 13,000 individuals worldwide, according to the organization, are devotedly working toward this goal of enhancing the hiring process through actual experiences and data. It encourages teamwork in the workplace with the goal of giving job seekers the greatest possible experience.
CONCLUSION : Southwestern University (SU) has partnered with Austin-based Indeed to create a Job Search Academy, providing virtual access to Indeed’s training courses, on-demand job search information, and career planning tools for SU students and graduates.
