Nearly 100 employers - - including major national companies such as Coca-Cola, Reynolds and Reynolds, Quicken Loans, Dana Holding Corporation, Owens-Illinois, and Owens-Corning - - came to the University of Toledo campus to participate in the College of Business and Innovation’s most recent job fairs.
It is one of the reasons why the job placement rate for Spring COBI graduates has continued to hit 93% for several years.
“We are always excited for our students that so many well-known companies come to us to find the talent they need,” Dr. Gordon-Moore said. “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.”
“The semi-annual job fair is a very important part of what we do to prepare our students for their futures,” Dr. 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.”
“One of the four key components of the COBI Brand is Transform, and that is exactly what happens at each of our two yearly job fairs,” noted Dr. Terribeth Gordon-Moore, COBI Senior Associate Dean. “Seniors are already securing job offers, underclassmen are polishing their job skills by acquiring internships, and freshmen are encouraged to participate to immediately begin developing their valuable connections and job-seeking skills.”
More than 500 students participated in the most recent job fair where among the companies recruiting COBI students were the Cleveland Indians, 3M, Chick-fil-A, Dish Network, Eaton Corporation, Fifth Third Bank, Hilti, Marathon Petroleum, Therma-Tru Doors, UPS and the United States Department of Defense.
