Herkimer College Career Services Recognized with Award for Excellence in Collaboration

The Career Services department at Herkimer County Community College recently received an award, along with MVCC, SUNY Poly and Utica College career services centers, for excellence in employer, faculty and community collaboration.

The award was presented at the SUNY Career Development Organization (SUNYCDO) conference in Beaver Hollow, New York. The award was given in recognition of their collaborative effort to create a professional development event for human resource professionals in the region.

“Develop your College Recruiting Strategies” was a free half day training offered in February of 2018 at the Mohawk Valley Community College, Utica campus. The event included a keynote presentation on How to Develop Your College Recruitment Strategies, breakout sessions with a hands-on workshop in a computer lab to learn how to maximize the Purple Briefcase platform, and round table discussions between recruiters and college career services professionals.

SUNYCDO is a statewide professional organization offering professional development opportunities, collaboration, and informal networking for career services professionals in SUNY.
