Hello all:
I'm very pleased to announce the launch of MCTC's new job bank for students and alumni- MCTCJobs through the NACELInk Network.
With this job bank we join our sister institutions of MN State Mankato, Metro State, Inver Hills Community College and Dakota County Technical College in offering the largest network of jobs for students and alumni. Students will have the option of searching for postings specific to MCTC or tapping into the NACELInk Network which features 1000's of jobs every day.
Students can post resumes and set up job search agents to get leads sent directly to their email accounts. They can also check the calendar to find out about Career Development Services events such as workshops and job fairs.
The web address for our job bank is:
https://minneapolis-csm.symplicity.com with a link to the MCTC web site in the works. You as faculty and staff can sign up for a free account under students/alumni if you would like to be able to search for postings for your students.
Training sessions for using the new job bank will be announced soon and will be held in T2500. Faculty and staff are welcome to attend the training sessions.
