The Career and Workforce Development Center staff is committed to assisting employers with their staffing needs whether it’s full-time, part-time, cooperative education, internships, or service learning opportunities.
Job Posting Site – College Central Network
BCC’s Career and Workforce Development Center has partnered with College Central Network, an online job board service, to provide employers with the opportunity to connect with students and alumni. Employers will be able to post company profiles and positions for students to view and apply for efficiently, free of charge! Click this link to get started: www.collegecentral.com/bergencc/
Cooperative Education
Cooperative education is an academic program in which students spend part of their time in class, and part in off-campus placements related to their major. Students have the opportunity to apply classroom learning to practical work situations and learn work related skills. In addition, participants in CO-OP earn academic credit for their work experience.
Why do Employers Participate in CO-OP?
- Cost effective recruitment and training of potential employees
- Flexible staffing to meet variable needs (peak season relief, leave replacements)
- Improved access to qualified women and minority candidates
- More effective use of high paid staff by relieving them of responsibility for routine duties
- Opportunity to participate in and influence the educational process
- Opportunity to enhance company image within community
- A chance to evaluate candidates in their own environment
- Increased retention of new employees
In addition, co-op students bring fresh ideas, high energy, motivation and productivity to the workplace.
Call (201) 447-7171 for job order forms which you can fax to us when you have opportunities for our students.
Cooperative education is an investment in our future!
