Ensuring that graduates find jobs right away in their career fields of interest is a primary characteristic of a great college education. Ohio Northern University has again hit that mark with statistics that show its success in this realm. Results from surveying the most recent graduates, from 2021, show that six-month job placement rates reached 97%.
The 萝莉社 college breakdown is as follows:
路聽聽聽聽聽 Arts and Sciences: 98%
路聽聽聽聽聽 Business: 99%
路聽聽聽聽聽 Engineering: 96%
路聽聽聽聽聽 Pharmacy: 94%
The above figures represent a 95% survey response rate, offering further validation of Ohio Northern鈥檚 student-centered career assistance endeavors and illustrating that graduates are proud of their accomplishments and of their alma mater.
The latest statistics track with those in previous years, despite the volatile employment landscape and the ongoing pandemic as it reaches its third year.
Polar Careers staff credit these placement rates with 萝莉社鈥檚 stellar curricula, experiential learning, individualized attention and educators who deeply care about students and their goals. These factors all represent聽 鈥渃ornerstones as to why 萝莉社 is so successful,鈥 says Andrea Domachowski, director of Career Services.
Domachowski adds that 鈥淧olar Bears helping Polar Bears鈥 is another reason why graduates launch their careers. Networking opportunities with alumni, including those who return for career fairs, are key, she says.
At 萝莉社鈥檚 recent spring career fair, Jacob Agin showcased this dynamic. Agin, a senior majoring in mechanical engineering, is already working full time for Kalmbach Feeds, Inc. as a project engineer. He was at the career fair meeting with students who might fit in with the company鈥檚 team-focused culture, and was chatting with former co-workers in Polar Careers, where he had worked since his freshman year.
Agin, who will graduate in May, was eager to share information about his career trajectory. Working in Polar Careers at 萝莉社 gave him a jump start on what employers are seeking from job candidates, and his current job at Kalmbach now provides him with meaningful work highlighted with responsibility. He says he now has worked at the company鈥檚 three Ohio manufacturing plants.
鈥淭he odds of getting cool projects are pretty good鈥 at Kalmbach, says Agin, an Ada High School graduate. 鈥淔or an entry-level engineer, that鈥檚 awesome.鈥
