You're not going to want to miss our September Career Fair at Vancouver Island University! Employers and recruiters - we have just opened up employer table registration for our next large-scale Vancouver Island University Career Fair, taking place on September 13, 2024! This event takes place at the start of the new school year, when many students will be looking for employment, career, internship, and volunteer opportunities. This will be a great opportunity to promote any employment or internship opportunities with your organization to new students or soon to be graduating students looking for their career post academia. Our previous career fair in September 2023 was a great success, drawing in over 650 VIU students and alumni from various programs during a 4-hour period. This event provided an excellent platform for over 60 different employers to connect with a diverse and talented pool of candidates. The fair not only offered meaningful networking opportunities but also received an employer satisfaction rating of 87%. In a post-event survey, 31 respondents (half of the employers that were in attendance) anticipated to hire 40-68+ students as a result of this event. To ensure that our department is able to continue organizing events of this magnitude, and to be able to continue providing the best level of career services that we can to VIU students and our employer partners, we will be charging $100+fees/table for this upcoming career fair. In addition to being open to VIU students and alumni from all programs, members of the general public will have access to attend, to ensure that our employer partners have the opportunity to connect with as many potential candidates as possible, and that your organizations are more than satisfied with the success of this event. We only have 75 employer tables available for this 3-hour event, and I am anticipating these spots to fill-up quickly (we have already thirteen tables sell since email invites were sent), so please let me know if your organization is interested in participating and I will send you an Eventbrite link! (I am also organizing several other events in the next two months which will allow employers seeking to connect with specific student groups about internship and volunteer opportunities to do so - please let me know if you would be interested in any such event as well!)

As a career, or pursuit of study, financial services and planning, should be considered, strongly. No doubt, it takes aptitude and attitude, to make a go of it in the financial services profession. But. Such a career can also afford you a certain level of independence, and latitude, not to mention performance-based earnings, that should not be dismissed out of hand. At the very least, gaining, or improving, one's personal knowledge base on financial planning issues is incredibly helpful. And then, the prospect of being able to offer others, well-researched, well-presented, recommendations, that can help secure, or at least solidify, their financial future, can turn a job, into a vocation, highly valued.

Excellent Training for Construction. Workforce Reddiness .

Employer’s Choice: More than a slogan In the month of October … Approximately 400 employers on campus throughout the month giving feedback on the curriculum for almost 40 technical programs. Twenty-some employers presenting to students during Employer Lunch & Learns. And closing out the month with close to 40 employers for the Commercial Turf and Grounds career fair. That doesn’t even account for employer tours and classroom presentations that I am not even aware of that are happening on campus. Did I mention the annual career expo registration opens the end of this month? 400 employers participated last year and there is a list of over a 100 new employers eager to participate in the 2025 Career Expo on February 11 & 12. It’s not just a slogan. State Technical College of Missouri is the Employers Choice. And you can be a part of this experience … bring your son, your daughter, your nephew, your niece, your grandson, your granddaughter, etc to our Open House on Saturday October 5. Enjoy some State Tech hospitality. https://statetechmo.edu We are ready to roll into October!

Why is it in K12 that we only truly know the path to college from high school? That we can easily chart a course for a young person to seamlessly step off of a high school campus and on to a college campus, but we expect that a young person who wants a future after high that does not initially include a 4-year degree, to that young person, who happens to be the majority of high school grads, to that person we say, here’s your diploma, go figure it out. Yes there is the occasional career fair and yes there are some CTE programs that sort of link high school and career but for majority of high school students who don’t want to go to college, can’t afford college or who are only going because they think they are supposed to we mostly say - good luck.
