Employers See Great Avenues for Recruiting New Employees
Employers See Great Avenues for Recruiting New Employees "I wanted to shoot you a quick note after meeting you yesterday at the open house event. I really enjoyed the event. The presentation was excellent, and really helped me understand all the benefits an employer can receive from working closely with STLCC and utilizing students from the great programs you offer. As a local employer, we are constantly working to attract and retain talented employees, and the event yesterday was eye-opening and really provided some great avenues for recruiting new employees."
Doug Kremer, Human Resource Manager, C.L. Smith
