Employer Relations

Welcome, Employers & Job Recruiters!

At Calhoun Community College, we prepare our students for competitive careers. Our goal is for our graduates to earn the credentials that match or exceed industry expectations and that they are prepared to be a productive employee for you.

Please feel free to peruse our partnership opportunities listed below. If you aren’t familiar with Calhoun’s programs of study, you can review those here. Want to chat further? Contact us today at 256-306-2993.

On behalf of the Career Services department, we would like to thank you for choosing to conduct business in the Tennessee Valley and for partnering with Calhoun.

Below You Will Find Ways in Which We Work With Employers to Reach Our Students:

Cooperative Learning Program

The Cooperative Learning Program is an opportunity for employers to build a talent pipeline while filling a current need and for students to gain valuable paid work experience in their field while earning college credit.

Apprenticeships

Calhoun Community College is a registered apprenticeship sponsor! Our team will work alongside you to evaluate your current employment needs, succession plan, and your overall goals for establishing a new or additional apprenticeship program. From there, together we will build a tailored apprenticeship with quality, related technical instruction that fits your specific industry needs.

Service Learning Program

Partner with us to provide meaningful service opportunities that benefit both your agency and the students, creating a lasting impact in our community. This program helps students improve their academic learning while contributing to essential community projects. Thank you for your participation in this initiative!

hireCalhoun

A FREE online portal and the most efficient way for employers to reach students and alumni with job opportunities. You will find our Employer Guide which highlights all of the portal’s features and instructions to create a hireCalhoun account. You can also use the “Resume Book” feature to search through resumes to contact qualified candidates directly.

Job Fairs

Join us for the opportunity to interact with hundreds of candidates.

Volunteer & Outreach

Each semester we coordinate mock interview experiences for various programs. In order to provide this service, we rely on recruiting business and industry professionals to serve as mock interviewers. Additionally, we occasionally have other opportunities for businesses to work with us in a volunteer capacity for community outreach.

Industry Tours

We would love to visit you at work! If you are willing to host a small group of students, staff, or both at your company, we would love the opportunity to tour your facility and learn more about your work firsthand.

WorkKeys Assessments

Calhoun’s job profilers, working together with an employer, use job profiles to identify the key workplace skills necessary to successfully perform a particular job. Once identified, employers can use results to support the employment selection process (hiring, promotion, training decision).

Cyber & IT Training for Employers

The Calhoun Workforce Solutions (CWS) group provides customized, flexible, cost-effective and convenient training to local businesses and industries throughout North-Alabama allowing them to achieve and maintain peak efficiency in the global marketplace. Additionally, our CyberSAFE course for end users in your organization helps increase your security posture quickly and with minimal investment.
