Best Day @ Work ?!
Most days, I love coming in to work. I have a great job at a great college that does great things with great people. It's fun! But some days are extra special.
Our Fall 2024 Career Fair, held on Thursday Oct 3rd at Rosedale Technical College , was one of those days. We had about 150 employers here to recruit our students, and the energy was off the charts! I personally visited about 40 or so of the employer tables, and I had many, many wonderful conversations.
I am so proud. Our students were engaged and asking good questions, our faculty and staff were meeting employers and facilitating the event, and the employers brought our their best as well. Our Student Services Coordinator in charge of Career Services, Maria Gigliotti , created and organized a really tremendous day. She also had lots of support from our maintenance and student success teams, plus many others from staff and faculty. It takes a great team to host about 350 guests on campus and keep things flowing efficiently!
The bottom line is our students are here to prepare to launch their new careers and carve out a successful life for themselves and their families. These employer connections that we provide are critical to making that happen. All during the year, we have about 150 days where our students are interacting directly with an employer, either through "lunch and learn" presentations, guest lecturers, or field trips. And then twice a year, we blow the doors out with these huge career fair days. The constant flow of employer interactions creates a vibrant culture on campus, and it demonstrates our commitment to turning education into a rewarding career. Truly a great day at work!

1 个月I had the opportunity to attend a career fair at Rosedale Tech, and I was fortunate enough to receive a full tour of the facility. I must say, your team should be incredibly proud of the facility and the outstanding program you've developed. It truly sets a high standard for technical education.
