The recent 2018 Quinsigamond Community College Human Services Fair offered QCC students an opportunity to connect with human service agencies and discuss possible job placement opportunities.

Starting a job search is never easy, but having over 25 organizations that are looking for viable workforce candidates all in one location is a great way to get a leg up on the competition.

“I’m in my Human Services practicum now at the Y and I love it. Now I’m looking for a job opportunity and it’s great to come and get information from companies and learn what they do,” said QCC student Joe Black.

Students were advised to come prepared with copies of their resumes; be dressed professionally and be ready to interact with potential employers.

“I came last year and got a part-time job so I came back to look for a full-time job,” said QCC student Ashley Morse.

Companies that came to the event included:

  • AIDS Project Worcester
  • Alternatives Amego, Inc.
  • Beacon ABA Services
  • Catholic Charities
  • Community Health Link
  • Department of Youth Services
  • Devereux Advanced Behavioral Health
  • Edward M. Kennedy Community Health Center
  • Girls Inc.
  • Horizons for Homeless Children
  • Jeremiah’s Inn Inc.
  • Key Program

QCC Student Karina Green said events such as these help students network with perspective employers.

“I talked to the ladies at Spectrum and they were very nice and it sounds promising. They were very helpful and suggested specific programs that would be a good fit. It’s all about networking! I’m looking for a paid internship in the Human Services field because I’ve been in the workforce for a long time and now am changing careers,” she added.
