College Central Network® connects RCC students with employers

Robeson Community College is pleased to announce that its Counseling & Career Services has joined College Central Network (CCN) to connect employers to students!

CCN is a modern platform that provides cutting-edge technology to best connect employers with qualified candidates, quickly, and intuitively. The Network app alone features opportunities for part-time jobs, internships, and full-time employment, making the job search experience easier for students.

“College Central’s app connects students to exclusive jobs at Robeson Community College. It also connects students to national jobs and internships via JobsCentral® and InternCentral®,” said Samantha Oxendine, Director of Counseling and Career Services.

For students, the process is simple, says Oxendine.

“They register for free at www.collegecentral.com/robeson,” Oxendine stated. “After completing their profile, each receives a ‘Welcome to College Central Network’ confirmation and can immediately install and use the College Central app. Once the student is registered, they can then interact with career services, as well as search for and apply to jobs.”

The College Central app also provides the quickest way to sign up for career fairs, workshops, and résumé reviews, and to schedule appointments with Counseling and Career Services’ staff. Users can explore and find amazing job and internship opportunities geared toward Robeson Community College students. The Network also pushes out customized, relevant content for our school. Plus, all registered students have access to Job Agent, which automatically matches jobs to an individual student’s profile and emails users’ notifications daily.

With CCN, Robeson Community College students and alumni can apply for part-time or full-time jobs and internships; sign up for workshops, job fairs, and events, including those that feature employers visiting Robeson Community College for on-campus interviewing and information sessions; and access extensive job search and career advice resources. For example, highly ranked College Central Podcasts feature over 120 short but concise dives into specific career topics and are perfect to listen to between classes or while commuting.

To date, over 6.5 million jobs have been posted on College Central Network, and over 2.6 million employers have registered and are recruiting students to fill positions, making it an invaluable asset in the RCC student toolkit for success. More than 50,000 North Carolina-based employers are currently registered with CCN.

Oxendine also stated, “We’re so excited to launch CCN and are equally excited to join CCN’s North Carolina Community & Technical Colleges Jobs Consortium.”

Membership in the Consortium is provided at no additional cost to both Robeson Community College and all community and technical colleges in North Carolina that use CCN’s Career Services Central® career office management platform.

“By selecting Career Services Central, we not only have a platform to manage our own career services, but we’re also joining many others in the state who are already using Career Services Central. Collectively, we’re actively working to grow and retain North Carolina’s emerging workforce by providing unprecedented access to our state’s employers and jobs!” said Oxendine.

Robeson Community College invites employers to register at www.collegecentral.com/robeson and post job opportunities for FREE to our students as part of this new partnership.

College Central Network is free, and employers can populate the app with job postings and other content.
