The "right hire" needs to be the right fit for both the employee and the employer.


The end of the semester is nearing, which means it’s peak season to be considering your next steps. For our healthcare and business students, in particular, we’ve rounded up a few of the top employers in the area to share some of their top priorities for their next employee. See which ones are a match for you!

By the way, these organizations will be on campus tomorrow! While these recruiters are only meeting in person on March 30, they are interested in our off-campus populations as well. If you can’t make it to campus to meet with them, don’t hesitate to reach out to Assistant Director of Industry Relations Stacy Tolomeo (stacy.tolomeo@cuw.edu) to get connected.
