According to Read Across

reading to children and keep
ing our youth interested in
literature is a vital part of
intellectual development of
the nation’s children. Read

Fair puts connections between
students and future employers

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.”

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.
