Job Fair at Student Service Center
The Student Service Center hosted a Job Fair on March 22 in front of the Java Café at Delaware Technical Community College, Owens Campus, with over 20 careers options available for students to discover, and connect with jobs in their desired fields.
Biotechnology major Ashley Chupp, said she liked that Delaware Technical had events like this for the students. “There’s a company here that I am specifically looking for and hopefully get a job there,” Chupp said.
There was over 20 tables sent up with future employers ready to talk to the students about their company and taking resumes including Dogfish Head Brewings & Eats, Griswold Home Care, Delmarva Power, and local police departments.
Along with companies, colleges and military were present to answer questions from students.
Wilmington University and Devry University both had a table set up with pamphlets and applications for students who had questions about post Delaware Tech, and questions about credit transfers or majors.
Sergeant Jordan Jones, with the National Guard, said he had spoken to a couple of students on how the National Guard could benefit them with college tuition, health care and more. “I like to educate the students on the National Guard and some of the benefits we have to offer and that are available,” Jones said.
Wilmington University student Kimberly Weldon found out about the job fair through the posters throughout the campus, and was eager to engage with future employers, but thought they fell through. “Jobs fairs aren’t what they used to be,” Weldon said.
Only one employer asked for her resume and all others told her to go online, which she felt was not as personal, but she would still be interested if Delaware Tech hosted another job fair in the future.
