🎓 The Talent You’re Missing: Why Community Colleges Belong in Your Recruiting Strategy

What if your next great hire is already building their career at a community college?

Community colleges are preparing a diverse and highly skilled talent pool, yet these students can be overlooked in traditional recruiting strategies. By building stronger connections with community college students and partnering with the career services teams who support them, employers can uncover new opportunities to connect with talented candidates.

Join MPACE for an engaging virtual session featuring community college career leaders and employer partners as they explore the opportunities and challenges of community college recruiting.

Together, we’ll discuss:

🔹 What employers may be overlooking when it comes to community college talent

🔹 Strategies for building meaningful employer–college partnerships

🔹 Practical approaches to engaging community college students

🔹 What successful community college recruiting looks like in practice

Whether you’re looking to expand your organization’s recruiting strategy or strengthen employer engagement on your campus, this conversation will offer practical ideas, valuable perspectives, and opportunities to make new connections.

📅 Friday, October 23

⏰ 12:00 – 1:00 pm MDT

💻 FREE Virtual Session

Don’t miss the opportunity to explore how community colleges can play a meaningful role in connecting employers with the talent they need.

☕ Join us for Coffee & Conversation: Changing Ethics Regarding Reneged Job Offers, sponsored by Mountain East and the Employer Engagement Committee.

The traditional guidance has been simple: “Never renege on an accepted offer.” But as employers increasingly rescind offers, students are challenging that expectation and the conversation is evolving.

This interactive session brings employers and career services professionals together to discuss:

• What employers are experiencing
• How career services guidance is evolving
• The balance between student interests, institutional expectations, and employer trust
• How professionals are navigating these changing dynamics

This is a conversation, not a lecture. Grab your coffee, bring your perspective, and join us!

📅 Tuesday, October 13

🎟️ Members: FREE | Non-Members: $15

We hope to see you there!
