Fair puts connections between students and future employers Michaels Cooper The Clackamas Print The Career and Employer Resource Center (CERC) host ed the School-to-Work Career Fair last Thursday to an eager 500 students in order to make connections with students and potential employers. Going along with the cem ter’s mission statement, the fair served to “provide staff ing solutions for businesses” by opening Randall Hall to about 40 different employ ers. The range of career and job opportunities ranged from public services like military, police and fire, as well as retail, manufacturing and office work. Many college departments that offer work for students also attended. Department Chair of the Career and Employment Resource Center David Blessman said that the value of the Career Fair lies in the fact that “70 percent of people get their job from network ing.” He defines “network ing” as making connections between would-be employees and their potential employers. In this case, the networking is happening between students and community businesses. Blessman noted that stu dents who attended the fair showed both eagerness and trepidation. The crowd con sisted of mostly high school students, since the fair took place on the same day and time as the Skills Competition. The purpose of the event was to help the students know more about their career path while allowing them to net- “70 percent of people get their job from networking.” David Blessman Department Chair of the Career and Employment Resource Center work with employers, and of course maybe get them a job, said Blessman. It was a “good chance to get a conversation going” between businesses and stu dents, said Blessman. The employers who attended were grateful for the ability to get the word of job opportunities out there. “Individuals told me how much they appreci ated it,” said Blessman. “It went really well. We’re real proud of it,” said Blessman about the event’s turnout, which was better than 'last year’s turnout. Employment and Training Specialist Martha Stephans said that the event helped a great deal with helping stu dents choose “a career path that employers are looking for.” Both members of CERC are hopeful for next year’s event. Next term, a similar event will be hosted by the C-TEC Youth Services program. The difference between the Career Fair and the Youth Opportunity & Employment Fair is that the latter event will be target ing youth ages 14-21 with employment barriers.
