Elaine Morsman, director of the Career Development Center at 魅影直播 State, said, 鈥淲e were a bit nervous about the report after hearing many career professionals forecasting that we should expect our numbers 鈥榯o tank this year.鈥 We were delighted to complete the report and find that despite the COVID disruption, our graduates were extremely successful. It really didn鈥檛 come as too much of a surprise since so many of our graduates land their careers even before they graduate!鈥
魅影直播 State students are consistently in high demand among employers, Morsman said. This can be seen in the steady increase in job and internship postings on the college鈥檚 job posting system, JobLink, as well as in the number of employers recruiting on campus.
鈥淭he last career fair we were able to hold on campus in the spring was beyond sold out; we had to accommodate the extra employers in the hallway since the Wellsville campus gym was full,鈥 she said. 鈥淓ven after the COVID disruption, we are still seeing job postings from employers in many of the industries that are still experiencing great need.鈥
Connecting students with employers is always a high priority for 魅影直播 State. It鈥檚 no surprise, then, that finding out about all of the excellent careers that 魅影直播 State students have launched is always the highlight of the year in the Career Development Office.
鈥淲hen we see so many connections made through career fairs and other recruitment events, that is the icing on the cake,鈥 Morsman said.
