subject: Alumni: Organize A Career Forum To Promote Your Company [print this page] There are a lot of graduates that start up their business and companies after the university graduation. It is not easy to hire highly qualified specialists for a vacant position in your company. As an entrepreneur you might be interested to have a profitable business and good work staff. But remember that the recruitment is a long process of resume evaluation and endless interviews. A businessman does not have a lot of time on his/her side. Selecting a good candidate is not a work that kills, but worries.
If you are a member of an alumni organization, you can easily solve the problem of the work staff recruitment. You can organize a career forum at your university and promote your company. Such forums gained their popularity among business structures. A career forum aims at gathering current students and recent graduates to deliver information about available jobs and application requirements.
You can contact your university and propose to organize a career forum in such format:
1.Deliver a presentation of the company activities
2.Facilitate a simulation of a job interview with students
3.Organize a competition for a vacant workplace
A career forum is beneficial for the university as students will have more opportunities to land a job after the graduation. Trainings from a company will help students master their professional skills. If alumni provide internships, then students will have possibility to get practical experience in their field of studies.
The above-mentioned advantages prove that, on the one hand, a career forum is useful for the university as students have the possibility of self-realization, on the other hand, alumni can easily recruit highly qualified specialists.
Moreover, it is the way how alumni can stay in touch with the university community.
