Linked to Local and Regional Markets
We engage and connect with the marketplace and collect valuable hiring and human resource insight. We’ve built this insight into an extensive database of cooperative relationships with area and regional businesses, ministries, and nonprofit organizations. This allows us to provide effective, career-oriented programming and services to our current students and recent graduates. We are happy to help with resumes, cover letters, applications to graduate school, and even self-marketing channels and professional networking.
