Center for 职业与劳动力 发展 Hosts 健康科学 Career Fair

Hanceville, AL — The pg电子官网状态 Center for 职业与劳动力 发展 recently hosted a 健康科学 Career Fair in the Peinhardt Conference Center in the School of 护理 和 Center for Science. More than 35 employers met with 学生 和 shared information about their job offerings.

This was the first of two career fairs organized by the Center for 职业与劳动力 发展. A Campus Career Fair geared toward 学生 in Academic 和 Applied Technology programs will be held in Tom Drake Coliseum on March 14 from 9 a.m. 到1p.m.

Christina Holmes, Director of Career Services 和 Work-Based Learning said events like the Heath Science Career Fair not only showcase potential career 机会 for 学生, but also help in building networking skills.

“This is so important, not only for our 学生 to come make connections with employers 和 hopefully pursue a full-time career after graduation, but it's also a great opportunity for them to practice their networking skills,” said Holmes. “当他们来到这里时 和 get practice in introducing themselves, they get to learn how to have those face-to-face conversations in a professional manner, 和 they're able to ask specific questions about things like pay 和 benefits. They really get the chance to learn about all the different 机会 that are available to them.”

pg电子官网状态 护理学生 Chelsea Craddock 和 Erikka Cattling attended the career fair 和 said it was helpful to speak with employers 和 ask questions about future 机会. 

“This event has helped me gather a lot of information on where I can go 和 what I can do with my nursing skills as a new grad. I asked a lot of questions about residency options available so I can learn on the job 和 enhance the knowledge I am gaining 克拉多克说. “I came here with my friend Erikka 和 both of us got the chance to ask questions 和 bounce ideas off of each other, so anything she asked may in 也使我得益处.”

Craddock 和 Cattling both said their favorite part of the career fair was how welcoming employers were in making connections with the 学生.

“All the people here are so nice 和 professional,” said Cattling. “我们都有 lot of questions, 和 they didn’t hesitate to answer every single one."
