Resume Book Search: Coming Soon! Search our resume book database to find qualified candidates matching your criteria – from trade, location, credentials and more. Registered employers will receive email notifications when this feature becomes available.
Work-based Learning (WBL): WBL connects employers with highly motivated, experienced student workers. Juniors in the program boast 700 hours of experience, while seniors have 1,000. Hiring a student offers the advantage of nurturing future talent for your company. Most CTECS students are available for full-time employment after graduation and are likely to progress within your company due to their extensive experience. During registration, indicate your interest in hiring a WBL student, and we’ll be in touch.
Career Fairs and Hiring Events: CTECS holds multiple career fairs throughout the year. Additionally, employers may request virtual or in-person hiring events at any of our locations. Register with the Career Center today to receive priority notification of upcoming career fairs and to request a hiring event for your company.
Registering with the Career Center provides a powerful platform for employers to boost their brand visibility.
Through company profiles featuring videos, images, and additional links, businesses can effectively showcase their identity to the entire CTECS community, including staff, students, and alumni. This exposure starts early, as CTECS students gain access to employer profiles as early as freshman year, igniting their interest in the career opportunities available and fostering enthusiasm about joining the Connecticut workforce. By engaging with the Career Center, employers not only enhance their brand presence but also inspire future talent to consider their organization as a potential career destination.
As an employer, your expertise is invaluable in shaping the education and career readiness of our future workforce. We invite you to become a valued member of a Program Advisory Committee (PAC)!
As a PAC member, you’ll collaborate with educators to ensure our curriculum, facilities, and credentials align with the latest industry trends and needs. You’ll also have access to top talent and the ability to identify potential interns, pre-apprentices, or future employees who have been trained according to industry standards. Our PAC’s meet twice a year for approximately two hours.
Register with the Career Center and indicate your interest in joining a PAC and we’ll be in touch!
