Some 65 companies endured the challenges of traveling in a Level II snow emergency to come to the University of Toledo Student Union on February 9 to recruit UT College of Business students at the annual spring job fair.
Among the 100 companies registered for the event were Dana, Campbell Soup, Coca-Cola, HCR
ManorCare, Intuit, Owens-Illinois, Wright Patterson Air Force Base and
ProMedica.
“We are always excited and pleased for our students that so
many well-known companies are coming to UT COBI to find the talent they
need," noted Dr. Terribeth Gordon-Moore, COBI Senior Associate Dean.
"This reflects very positively on the quality of both our programs and our
students. It also demonstrates the extremely dynamic and mutually beneficial
relationship enjoyed by COBI and recruiters for major national companies.”
“Employers are looking for undergraduate students to
participate in business internships and their leadership development programs,
as well as for seniors and graduates seeking full-time employment,” she added.
“Furthermore, we strongly encourage our freshmen students to attend the job
fair, engage these company representatives and begin a relationship with these
employers now.”
“This semi-annual job fair is part of what we do to prepare
our students for their futures,” Gordon-Moore explained, adding that the
college’s Business Career Programs office works year-round to assist students
in acquiring internships and jobs upon graduation. “We strive to provide the necessary resources
so our students can conduct their own tailored job searches.”
More than 85% of COBI students participate in internships,
and the job placement rate for Spring COBI
graduates was a record 93% for each of the last three years.
