Each year dozens of top local and regional employers descend onto LMC\u2019s Pittsburg campus for the Spring Internship and Job Fair, enticing students to join their company and take on high-demand, well-paying jobs.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cLos Medanos College has excellent contacts and industry partners who look to us each year, seeking the most well-prepared prospective employees,\u201d said Bill Bankhead, LMC manager of Workforce and Economic Development. \u201cStudents who come to our job fairs have an edge over the competition. They make direct contact with employers who want to hire them, knowing our students have mastered the skills needed for the job. This past April we had about 50 employers participate in our career fair, and more than 250 students attended.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD) is among the major employers who participates in LMC\u2019s Career Fair annually. The regional drinking water purveyor and wastewater utility has more than 400 job classifications from administrative and professional to technical and trades that could be the perfect fit for LMC graduates.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cLMC helps prepare its students and graduates to compete for a variety of EBMUD careers,\u201d EBMUD spokesperson Andrea Pook said. \u201cFor example, graduates from LMC’s industrial technology and welding technology programs \u2013 which are not offered by all postsecondary institutions \u2013 have developed skills to compete for EBMUD’s Machining & Maintenance Worker II and Welder positions.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"The Internship and Career Fair and fall semester Opportunity Fair are part of LMC’s comprehensive job readiness and employer engagement initiatives, which have contributed to successful careers. About 69% of LMC alumni from Career and Technical Education programs report they are employed in their field of study. About 82% of those report their wages increased by at least $11 per hour over their pre-college earnings.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOur CTE programs are fueling local industry with skilled employees, while helping students and graduates advance into jobs that lift their family\u2019s prospects and quality of life,\u201d Bankhead said.<\/span><\/p>\n
