🎓 Connecting Education with Real-World Experience Education is most meaningful when it extends beyond the classroom. I recently saw a great example of a Part-Time Jobs Fair at another university, where students connected directly with employers and explored real opportunities alongside their studies. It would be great to see GBS and the Careers Team bring more initiatives like this, such as part time job fairs, workshops, and networking events, to help students across all courses gain experience, confidence, and career readiness. GBS has incredible talent, all we need are more platforms to turn learning into opportunity. 🌍✨ #GBS #StudentVoice #Careers #HigherEducation #Employability #ExperienceMatters #StudentEngagement #EducationForGrowth

Young people don’t need to have perfect plans. What they need is guidance, confidence and clarity. 🧭 Yesterday at the career orientation fair for pupils in the age of 15-17 at Lippe Berufskolleg, I had the opportunity to present BHTC GmbH and the opportunities we offer, from apprenticeships to dual study programs. 👩🏼🏫👌🏼 In my opinion, the education system needs to focus more on supporting young people understand their strengths and opportunities. In a world full of change, the kids deserve to understand which skills will matter most in the future and which career fields will remain essential. 💡 Giving young people clear and honest insights into the world of work is key to helping them make confident decisions. 🚀😊 #CareerOrientation #loveHR #Jobs

When 500+ students meet 30 hiring teams in one hall, you can feel the college‑to‑career gap closing in real time 🤝 As seeing events like Santa Rosa Junior College's Fall Job Fair gives me hope. 500+ students. 30 employers. One powerful message: opportunities exist for those ready to grab them. What stood out to me: • Companies like Innovative Behavior Resources actively seeking fresh talent in specialized fields • First-time participants like Elevo Learning expanding their reach to find the right candidates • Students showing up with energy and genuine curiosity about career paths The gap between classroom learning and industry needs feels smaller when events like this happen. For us computer science students, it's a reminder that networking isn't just about LinkedIn connections. It's about showing up, asking questions, and demonstrating genuine interest in solving real problems. The tech industry needs fresh perspectives. We need guidance and opportunities. Events like these bridge that gap perfectly. As I prepare for my own transition from student to professional, I'm reminded that the best opportunities often come from putting yourself out there. What's been your experience with job fairs? Any advice for students making that crucial college-to-career transition? #CareerFair #StudentLife #TechCareers 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐞: https://lnkd.in/gKMtPWnp
