Clarkson College has not always been a college. Instead, we began in 1888 as a school of nursing—the first in the state of Nebraska. Over the last 125 years, we've established a new campus, expanded our program offerings and adopted a new name. All the while, we've maintained a commitment to preparing our students to be the best in various realms of health care. This commitment to excellence has and always will remain a defining quality of Clarkson College.

Connect at the Career Fair for Health Professions

05 March 2018

The seventh annual Career Fair for Health Professions is Thursday, April 5 from 12:30–3 p.m. in Howard Hall on the Clarkson College campus. During the event, current students, recent graduates and alumni will connect with organizational representatives to learn about the different career opportunities health care has to offer.

Event organizer and Academic Outreach Liaison Jon Clay intends to offer something for everyone— from upcoming graduates searching for their first job to experienced professionals interested in a career change. Attendees will gain information about both entry-level and advanced positions and have the opportunity to network with other professionals.

“The Career Fair is one of the best opportunities for students and employers to connect with health care providers,” Clay said. “We want to continue the event’s success and maximize participation by attracting employers that our students want to meet.”

Last year, more than 215 attendees networked with 50 organizations from the Omaha area and across the Midwest. Thanks to increased employer opportunities, organizers expect up to 60 businesses to attend this year. Clay is improving employers’ experience by providing more premium booths that offer organizations a prime spot to maximize their exposure.

“I always want to leave employers with a great impression of Clarkson College,” he said. “The improvements we’ve made in the Career Fair give us the opportunity to maximize employers’ time while they are on campus.”

Alumni are invited to attend the Career Fair for Health Professions as a participant or an exhibitor. If you would like more information or have questions regarding the Career Fair, contact Jon Clay at 402.552.2944 or clayjon@clarksoncollege.edu.
