The College held its first Healthcare Career Fair on April 3, 2019 in the Granito Center.
Students met with company recruiters, applied for jobs and internships, and polished their networking skills at two Career Fairs in April. For the first time, the College held a Healthcare Career Fair to cater to the College’s many healthcare students. The annual Career Fair, which is open to the public, took place on April 2, 2019. The Healthcare Career Fair, which better accommodated students who had clinicals, was held a day later.
“Our first Healthcare Career Fair was a huge success,” said Internship Coordinator/Career Counselor Rose Macom, MSEd. “Students took advantage of the opportunity to meet and network with healthcare employers. The two hours went by very quickly. Employers gave us excellent feedback and we learned about new externship opportunities for our students.”
The annual Career Fair also was successful with a 20 percent increase in the number of students who attended. Macom said that recruiters at both events were impressed with how well prepared the students were, based on their resumes and knowledge of the companies.
