Website Helps Northeastern Pennsylvania's Employers Tap into the Region's Emerging Talent for Free

NEW YORK, Sept. 21, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --The Northeast Pennsylvania Employment Consortium (NPEC) job-posting portal, powered by College Central Network, Inc. (CCN), has made it easy for employers to recruit emerging talent from the region's universities, and to post jobs for FREE.

Employers have access to the region's finest talent. They can post as many jobs as they wish at no cost, and instantly connect with over 20,000 bachelors- and masters-level candidates attending NPEC's colleges and universities each year.

Through the Consortium website, www.collegecentral.com/npec, employers can easily post a job once and have it immediately available at all consortium member schools for free. Employers already reach the following colleges and universities: Keystone College; King's College; Marywood University; Misericordia University; University of Scranton; and Wilkes University.

"Since the Consortium's launch in October 2008, NPEC's colleges and universities have utilized collegecentral.com/npec. The website makes it easy for employers to recruit our entry-level talent, and it has had a tremendous impact on our region's economy. Not only is the process free for employers, the website also centralizes the task. This means that recruiters need only post once to reach all six colleges," says Christopher Sutzko, Director of Career Services, King's College.

Sutzko added, "NPEC's colleges and universities have prepared our graduates to move directly into the workforce. We invite all employers to take advantage of this service and connect with Northeast Pennsylvania's emerging talent."

College Central Network's Career Services Central(SM) is the exclusive online career office management solution for the career centers of the NPEC's participating schools, the Consortium website and nearly 600 individual two- and four-year career centers across the U.S.

According to Joy Miller, CCN's College Relations Managers for Pennsylvania, "The NPEC Jobs Consortium is a win-win for both employers and job seekers across the region. It makes posting jobs to multiple campuses simple and free, and greatly increases the number of job opportunities for both our partner campuses and jobs seekers attending the Consortium's schools."

Miller added, "Participating college and university career centers play a crucial role when it comes to providing the career skills needed by the next generation of the Pennsylvania's emerging talent. Now, with an extremely efficient set of hiring tools, employers can easily tap into that talent pipeline when growing their businesses."
