POINT LOOKOUT, MO. — College of the Ozarks hosted 120 organizations during the spring Career Expo on March 8, 2023, in the Howell W. Keeter Gymnasium. This annual event was created to connect students with employers and help students identify internships and obtain full-time career opportunities.
The Career Center successfully hosts an expo each semester. The primary goal of this event is to provide an atmosphere where employers and students can start a conversation and begin securing an internship, employment, or graduate school admissions.
The organizations in attendance included an array of employers and graduate schools located in the Ozarks region.
The Career Expo prepares students to easily transition from their studies to entering the workforce. This follows the College’s vision to develop students who are prepared for life outside the Gates of Opportunity.
“I want students to practice telling their stories confidently and understand their vocation and callings,” said Jim Freeman, Career Center director. “I hope students will gain confidence by entering into conversations with potential employers. Doing this now will better prepare them for future interactions with employers and will help them find the calling the Lord has for their lives.”
