Connecting Students to Employers

Connecting Students to Employers

| By: Britten, Casey

Hiring professionals representing a dozen regional employers spent time networking with students at the first-ever Business Networking Meet & Greet event on the Appleton campus.

Organized by Employment Connections, more than 100 Business and Marketing students attended the function. The setting provided an informal opportunity to build relationships and practice networking skills with individuals from businesses that consistently hire FVTC graduates. The event included companies from the human resources, manufacturing, accounting, paper converting, compliance, defense, wholesale, and service industries.

Two workshops preceded the informal roundtable discussions that took place in the Jones Dairy Farm Culinary Theatre Pepsi Atrium. Meet & Greet is yet another employability platform that FVTC offers its students to complement a stellar 94% college-wide graduate employment rate.
