Career and Professional Development

“Conventional career fairs pass the point of diminishing return because recruiters feel pressured to talk to too many students and walk away with few quality conversations with qualified candidates. At K College, we had the opportunity to have many quality conversations with quality candidates. Wow.”  A.J. Dunn, Green Growth Solutions
