University System
Committee on Career Services and Cooperative Education (USC CACE)
University System Of Georgia
History: USC CACE was founded at the direction of the Chancellor of the University System of Georgia because of an unfavorable article that appeared in the Atlanta Constitution on July 23, 1984. The article was a result of an audit of college and university placement offices by the General Assembly of Georgia. The audit revealed inconsistency from program to program within the University System. Consequently, USC CACE was organized to provide a forum for offices of system institutions to share information and workfor the improvement of career services at state institutions.
Projects: USC CACE has accomplished many things since its conception including the following:
1. Records retention standards
for credential files.
2. Records retention standards for office correspondence.
3. Institution of a Peer Review Process.
4. The implementation of a regular forum to discuss pertinent issues.
5. Creation of GeorgiaHire.com
6. Guidelines for Reciprocity
agreements between schools.
7. Guidelines for giving references.
8. Professional standards
for the different types of institutions in the University System of Georgia.
