February holds the introduction of a new feature and job fair for Career Services.<\/p>\n

On Feb. 1, it will kick-off of the newest addition, the career coach.<\/p>\n

\u201cCareer coach is an online resource, it\u2019s a tool that is intended to help students make good choices about their career pathway and link the educational opportunities here at Sinclair to their career goals,\u201d Matt Massie, manager of Career Services said. \u201cThere\u2019s all this information that students need to know about careers and ultimately about the academics programs that help them get those careers that they need to know before they start.\u201d<\/p>\n

The career coach contains information such as employment growth, salary and job openings\u2014 all centralized in the Dayton area.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll of [these questions are] what people should ask, but it\u2019s really, really hard information to find,\u201d Massie said. \u201cAnd when they do find it, it really doesn\u2019t make sense a lot of the time.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said career coach puts all this information into one website and helps students figure out how to get there through Sinclair\u2019s own academic programs.<\/p>\n

\u201cStudents, first off, don\u2019t know what they need to ask and then when they know what they need to ask, they don\u2019t know how to find it,\u201d he said. \u201cCareer coach does all of that for them\u2026 It is a website that compiles all the information that students need to know in an easy to use format. And probably the most important thing is, it\u2019s information based off our area.\u201d<\/p>\n

When using career coach, students have the option to change the zip code to the Dayton campus location, Courseview campus location or the Preble County Learning Center location, as well as the radius around the location that they are searching for.
\nMassie said some career-related websites update yearly, but career coach uses six different sources that are updated quarterly.<\/p>\n

The link to find career coach will not be released until Feb. 1, but students can access it through Sinclair.edu in the \u201cin the spotlight\u201d section on the homepage.<\/p>\n

On Feb. 7, the 25 annual career job fair for the Life and Health Science departments will be held in the Great Hall of Building 12 from 12 to 3 p.m.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis career fair is aimed at the life and health sciences industries, so we see hospitals, we see doctor offices, we see physical therapy employers; we see all these medical related entities come to this career fair,\u201d he said. \u201cBut what people don\u2019t realize is all of those types of places need more than just nurses… They also need information technology people, they need accounting people, they need all of these different things. So just because it\u2019s the life and health sciences career fair, doesn\u2019t mean that not everyone should come to it and talk to these employers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Massie said although the career fair is aimed at a certain industry, it\u2019s good practice for students studying for other industries.<\/p>\n

He suggested bringing resume copies and coming dressed professionally.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
