given the opportunity to meet with prospective employers, research information
about different careers, and learn how to interact with those folks in the
"real world" who may become their future bosses during a Career Fair, sponsored
by the Career Development Office on the Alfred campus.
Two sessions were
scheduled-one on the Applied Technology campus in Wellsville, and another on
the Alfred campus. Students were not the
only ones who benefited. Participating employers were also afforded the opportunity to build and
maintain relationships with Alfred State College, "brand" the company, raise
the company's profile among ASC students, and get to know ASC students from
majors that are pertinent to the company, without the pressure of filling a
job. When the company is ready to hire,
Alfred State College wants to be the first source employers think of for
quality employees.
Alfred
State students represent
