Johnson College held its 2011 Fall Career Fair on November 2, 2011. Nearly 200 students and alumni networked with close to 60 organizations, making it the largest career fair in the College’s history.

Roseann Martinetti, Associate Director of Career Services, states, “In the age of virtual career fairs and online applications, the tradition of on-campus career fairs continues to grow and flourish at Johnson College and provides students and alumni with important connections and opportunities to network. Most jobs are not advertised and are filled by word of mouth. Career fairs at the College offer employers a pool of applicants that possess the skills they need and offer the students and alumni a chance to apply for a variety of positions.”

The College’s biannual career fairs occur each Fall and Spring and are open to current Johnson College students and alumni only. Visiting organizations present a wide variety of career opportunities for full-time and part-time positions as well as internship opportunities. Several colleges, which have articulation agreements with Johnson College, are also represented at the fairs to provide information on further education.

The 2011 Fall Career Fair demonstrated that the fairs are not only important to students and alumni but also to local employers.

“This is the best job fair of the year,” asserted Amy Clegg of Express Employment Professionals, a staffing agency that provides full-time and temporary job placement, human resources services, and consulting.

Megan M. Malinak, MSIR, PHR, of Carbondale’s Hendrick Manufacturing, which is a leading provider of perforated metal products and custom fabrication for use in a variety of industries, shared, “We have full-time employees receiving Continuing Education training at Johnson College and we’ve been very happy with the results… When we hire, we look for individuals with a good technical background and the College provides students with that in its degree program areas.”

Johnson College is currently planning its 2012 Spring Career Fair. To find out more about the College and its career fairs, visit www.johnson.edu.

In September 2011, Jeff Roughgarden, Johnson College’s Welding Training Center Instructor, successfully passed the American Welding Society (AWS) Certified Welding Inspector/Certified Welding Educator (CWI/CWE) exam.

The CWI/CWE training included 40 hours of classroom time followed by a six-hour exam consisting of welding fundamentals, code, and hands-on weld inspection. The CWE Program is geared toward the welding professional in the welding education field and confirms an individual’s ability, talent, and knowledge to direct and perform operations associated with welder training and classroom instruction. A CWI certification is widely respected, both nationally and internationally, and successful companies have come to rely on this AWS certification when ensuring the highest level of quality workmanship.

As an AWS CWI/CWE, Mr. Roughgarden is recognized worldwide as an industry leader in weld inspection and quality control.

“Johnson College is very proud of Jeff’s accomplishment and we are excited that we can now offer AWS Welder Qualification tests to students, companies, and individuals in the community,” states Marie Allison, Director of Continuing Education.

In addition to offering AWS Welder Qualification tests, the College will continue to provide welding training. Basic Cutting and Welding and Professional Welder courses are scheduled to start January 9, 2012.
