NASHVILLE, Tenn.—The Vanderbilt Peabody College of education and human development has created a new resource to help employers tap the talent of the college’s growing numbers of master’s students and alumni in non-traditional education programs.
The Peabody Career Center, or PC2, first launched in January 2006, recently expanded to serve current students and alumni in human resource development, organizational leadership, child studies and community development action.
Employers can post jobs on the PC2 website, http://peabody.vanderbilt.edu/pc2, by sending an e-mail to pc2@vanderbilt.edu. Employers can also access a resume bank where they may view student and alumni resumes by calling the center at (615) 343-3593.
“Working with employers as they seek the best candidates is an added bonus to this work,” Dayle Savage, center director and a lecturer in the Department of Leadership, Policy and Organizations, said. “We want to see everyone win and often our students are the best fit for the organizations. Peabody’s non-traditional programs have been a ‘best kept secret’ and that’s about to change.”
PC2 provides students and alumni with career services and networking opportunities as well as information, special programs and personal career coaching. Peabody graduates are employed by a wide variety of organizations, including government agencies, management consulting firms, non-profits and Fortune 500 companies.
“Our degree programs enable our students to give employers an immediate impact with practical skills, knowledge and competencies,” Savage said. “A Peabody graduate is ready to go to work and we help them get there.”
