NEW YORK, July 22, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Michigan employers seeking job-ready talent now have a FREE resource to post jobs: the Michigan Community Colleges Jobs Consortium website, powered by College Central Network, Inc. (CCN).
The new website (https://CollegeCentral.com/miccjobs) makes it both FREE and easy for every employer—large, small, public or private—to register just once and then post an unlimited number of jobs to Michigan's community college students and alumni! This extraordinarily useful resource for employers simplifies hiring in today's climate, even with temporarily closed or restricted campuses, and students learning from home.
Today, posted jobs can simultaneously reach tens of thousands of job seekers from Delta College, Jackson College, Kellogg Community College, Lake Michigan College, Monroe County Community College, Mott Community College, Oakland Community College, Schoolcraft College, and Wayne County Community College District.
According to Joy Miller, CCN's Career Services Central® National Sales Manager, "Employers need to quickly target timely job postings in response to ever-changing COVID-19 conditions. The Consortium is launching at this time when employers are looking to hire college students and alumni who are willing and able to jump in to meet their state's, regions', or locally specific hiring environment, now. It is important to note that Michigan's community colleges are ideally positioned to help their state's economy rebound fast, and to quickly fill the state's hiring needs in this era of rapid economic and technological change."
"Many employers post jobs at the closest community colleges," Miller added. "But, now, with the Consortium, employers can easily extend their reach. Posting just once, they can go statewide or target a specific combination of regional Michigan community colleges."
CCN's Career Services Central® is the exclusive online career office management platform for career centers at all schools participating in the Consortium. Miller sums it up: "Community colleges can have a great impact on the state's economy. As many barriers as possible have been removed, simplifying the process so employers to easily recruit the state's home-grown entry-level talent. The Michigan Community Colleges Jobs Consortium website does exactly that, particularly in light of the added current complications of closed campuses and remote learning."
"Our state's community colleges provide great value and contribute directly to Michigan's economic growth," stated Donna DuHame-Schmidt, Director of Career Services & Cooperative Education, Oakland Community College.
JoAnne Stadnicar, Student Employment Specialist, Schoolcraft College added, "Our Consortium's combined undergraduate reach is massive, providing our state's employers with a diverse mix of students, highly skilled and motivated to jump right into our workforce!"
"Our college recently switched from a four-year, university-centric career platform to CSC. We expect that joining the Consortium will boost our employer registrations and offer more job opportunities that are better geared to our students and alumni," stated Jason Premo, Director of Admissions and Career Development, Delta College. Premo added, "We're excited to expand our employer reach statewide and to make employers more aware of the talented students and adults who have acquired new skills that Delta College is training."
Barry Kinsey, Director of Workforce Development at Monroe County Community College explains, "Michigan's taxpayers have invested in our community college system. And the result is a clear path for our state's employers to see a return on that investment. The Consortium provides our state's employers with direct access to our combined colleges' new and eager job talent."
"Recruiters like the ease of posting just once to reach all Michigan Consortium members' community college talent. Our graduates have the skills, and they are ready and willing to move directly into our local workforce now. Our colleges train our state's students to meet Michigan's specific needs, and our graduates are who today's employers are looking to hire," stated Rennard Martin, District Director, Adult Education, Wayne County Community College District. "It's a perfect fit!"
Patrick Casey, Director, Career and Employment Services at Kellogg Community College shared his thoughts: "I can't emphasize enough how much time and effort is saved by signing up just once and being able to post unlimited opportunities statewide."
As Heather Marshall, Work-Based Learning & Career Services Coordinator at Jackson College adds, "I'm happy to say, the new Michigan Community Colleges Jobs Consortium gives employers a no-cost option and direct path and to our combined community colleges' career centers and talent!"
According to Aron Gerics, Employment Services Coordinator, Mott Community College, "Collectively, our responsibility is to prepare our students to join the workforce or start a career. This Consortium has proved to be the best launchpad for Michigan's employers to find their next hires!"
"Employers who post to the Consortium are specifically looking to hire students and alumni who wish to work in Michigan," said Ken Flowers, Ph.D., Dean, Career & Workforce Education at Lake Michigan College. "It is important to note that our community college graduates almost always accept job offers in the state. That makes this a workforce win-win."
Statistics show that approximately 180,000 students attend Michigan community colleges.*
