Institute for Career Readiness and Lifelong Learning: Employer Resources

Employers can post internships or full-time employment opportunities through College Central Network. 

College Central Network (CNN) is an online, career search database utilized by Defiance College students and alumni to search for career opportunities. CCN allows you to set a deadline for interested students/alumni to apply, and then review resumes online or receive them via email/mail.

If you do not already have an account with College Central Network, you can create an account. Once your account is approved (usually within 24 hours) you can post your available positions directly to the system and begin searching resumes as well.

If you are unable to post your position on College Central Network, please call 419.783.2349. 

We encourage you to highlight your organization to Defiance College students. The Office of Career Development will assist you with all the arrangements.

• Employer Information Sessions/Tables
  Hosting an information session/reception or information table can be an effective component of your overall recruiting strategy. You will have the opportunity to introduce students to your organization, while getting to know their skills and interests. To request an information session or reserve a table please contact Tracy Armey, Assistant Director of Career Development at tarmey@defiance.edu or 419.783.2366.
• Mock Interviews
  Mock interviews are conducted through the year as part of capstone or other courses in students’ majors. Recruiting professionals assist our students in polishing their interviewing skills. Professionals are matched with students seeking experiential or full-time employment in your field. Each interview lasts 20-30 minutes and includes a session at the end for recruiter feedback and student questions. If you would like to participate in mock interviews, please contact Tracy Armey, Assistant Director of Career Development at tarmey@defiance.edu or 419.783.2366.
• Career-related Presentations, Seminars, and Employer Panels
  Work with a student group, a faculty member or the Career development staff to deliver career-related presentations, workshops or panels. This is an opportunity for experts to share industry knowledge and advice. It is also a great way for you to network with students, faculty and Career Development staff
