Employers Meet Students Series |
|
College of the Desert’s Career Center started the Employers Meet Students series six years ago to link students to regional employment opportunities and meet the workforce needs of the community. Over several weeks each fall and spring, employers hold a series of interviews with students who have signed up in advance to apply for a position or conduct an informational interview. Interview days are organized by industry cluster such as Hospitality, Business Administration, Health Occupations, Teaching, and Administration of Justice. The Employment Development Department, (EDD), employment specialist in the college’s Career Center schedules several Job Search workshops prior to the EMS series to assist students in preparing for the application and interview process. During the series, employers are asked to fill out a SCANS assessment and make recommendations related to academic training needs. These recommendations are passed on to the Vice President of Student Services, the Dean of Counseling, and the Division Deans via a year-end EMS report.
