Career Fair Connects Students to Employers and Major Exploration

Publish Date: Nov. 17, 2022

An estimated three hundred Crafton Hills College students attended the career fair in the quad on October 12, hosted by the College’s Career Center. Students had the opportunity to visit the forty-eight booths set up across the quad, thirty-seven of which were sole employer booths. These included Symbiosis, a local healthcare company specializing in urgent care, ambulance transport, telemedicine services, and event safety. The company brought its original 1972 Cadillac Ambulance, which it still uses for basic life support service. Other booths represented the College’s academic departments, student clubs, and student services.

The Street Food Co. food truck brought their trolley and provided tacos to the vendors and participants, while a DJ was there to keep the atmosphere upbeat.

A professional photographer provided students with free professional headshots to use in their job search or to update their online profiles. Students in need of interview-appropriate attire for their headshots had access to clothes from the Crafton Career Closet. Thirty students had their headshots taken, while other students not camera-ready or heading to class registered for an upcoming photo-shoot.

Crafton Students attending the career fair had the unique opportunity to interact with company recruiters, networking with professionals, and discuss potential job and/ or internship opportunities while brushing up on their social skills among their peers.
