As a student, would you have been interested to learn from industry experts on current hiring trends, what it means to have a career in the technology field, and learn what not to put on your resume?
The Nashville Technology Council’s T3 Initiative can do just that for your students via a program geared towards interested students. The Job Readiness Session is being rolled out to all universities during the spring semester. At this session industry experts discuss with students how to write a resume and cover letter, what social networking sites they should utilize, what the hot jobs in the market are, and they answer any questions the students have.
Check out what participants from the pilot program had to say about their experiences.
“Thanks for the great job readiness session!! The feedback from students has been excellent and they enjoyed the opportunity to hear from IT people who currently are involved in the hiring process and what they look for in a candidate. The interactive nature of the session was a high point that we saw commented on many times by the students. We look forward to hosting sessions in the future!”
- Dr. Edward Anthony, Associate Professor, IT & Management, Trevecca Nazarene University
“Working with students to help them prepare for the realities of the workplace is an honor. In a short session, we shared some deep truths learned over many years of trial & error. I have since received multiple calls and emails telling me that we did provide useful and actionable information.”
-Michael Galo, President & & IT Strategist
“It’s so important that technology students know they’ve got a rich peer group in the NTC. It’s not just about sharing knowledge and experiences, but about making connections. We’re all interested in being a resource and a friend even when the presentations are over.”
- David Ledgerwood, President and CEO, ALOC Group, LLC
