Linn-Benton Community College not only offers and education to the students, they also provide job services to the students.  Any person who has attended LBCC has access to career center and the exclusive job postings.


The Career Center is open to all who have taken classes at LBCC.  Services are available in person or online.  The career and employment specialists are available to help students find jobs and learn the basic skills need to find employment.  They can help you create or update resumes, create cover letters and learn how to successfully interview with future employers.


LBCC works with local companies to connect employers with potential employees in the fields of study available at LBCC.  Also, employers, aware of the student's need of flexibility in a work schedule that works around their school schedule.  These companies work with LBCC to offer current students employment opportunities that provide flexible schedules.


“We are excited about our new program.  It should be up and running this Fall," said Sherry Rosen, CWE/Service-Learning Coordinator.


LBCC’s Career Service received a grant to update their employment services program.  This fall, the employment center is going to have new software program that will be easier to access and more user friendly, Career Connections.  The employment specialists are excited about this new program.   It allows more interaction between students and employers, can link in social media like LinkIn, and offers skill resources online.


“The new system will provide more advanced features.  It will allow greater interaction between students and employers.  Employers will be able to post jobs on their own for immediate results,” said Marci Johnston, employment and career specialist at Linn-Benton Community College.
