Free for job seekers and open to the public
ROCKLAND COUNTY, N.Y. (February 14, 2022) – Rockland Community College will host in-person and virtual Job Fairs in April. The in-person job fair will be on Tuesday, April 12 from11:00 am to 3:00 pm in the Fieldhouse on RCC’s main campus in Suffern, NY. COVID protocols will be followed. The virtual job fair will be hosted on ZOOM on Wednesday, April 13 from 2:00 pm – 7:00 pm. Entry is free for job seekers and open to the public for both fairs. More than 100 companies are expected to participate with openings for part-time, full-time, entry-level, and professional positions.
“RCC is thrilled to offer students, alumni, employers, and the community the opportunity to engage in our in-person and virtual job fairs. So many of our job seeking attendees have been adversely affected financially by the pandemic. Providing them with two platforms to network and be recruited by some of the top businesses in our community is invaluable. We know that both applicants and employers will benefit tremendously from these events,” says Joseph Falco, Executive Director of Student Success at RCC.
“From a student’s perspective, it is important to attend the job fair so that you can network and see different job opportunities in your field of study. You can practice your interviewing skills and learn how to make a lasting impression on employers,” says Eesha Uddin, a Liberal Arts: Math & Science major on the Honors Track who is expected to graduate in May 2022.
