- Advance the body of knowledge on academic advising
- Foster the talents and contributions of all members and promote the involvement of diverse population
The National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE), was established in 1965, and is the leading source of information on the employment of the college educated. The professional association connects more than 5,200 college career services professionals at nearly 2,000 college and universities nationwide, and more than 3,000 HR/staffing professionals focused on college relations and recruiting.
NACE forecasts trends in the job market; tracks legal issues in employment, the job search, and hiring practices; and provides college and employer professionals with benchmarks for their work. NACE provides research and information to its professional members through NACEWeb, quarterly surveys of starting salary offers to new college graduates, a quarterly journal, a biweekly newsletter, and surveys of employer and college members. NACE provides members with primary tools for reaching and educating college students through their Job Choices publications—the most recommended job-search and career guides for today's graduates and alumni—and JobWeb, the online complement to Job Choices.
