Road to the Workplace - Employer Research from the James A. Cannavino Library

The James A. Cannavino Library is introducing a new set of resources for Employer Research:  Road to the Workplace


In response to the competitive job market that all students find themselves in upon graduation, the James A. Cannavino Library is introducing a new set of resources, Road to the Workplace: Research Tools and Road to the Workplace: Employer Profiles. This set of resources is designed to help Marist students preparing for interviews, internships, and their post-college futures.We hope that you will visit this new set of resources and share it with your students.


Road to the Workplace: Research Tools
Road to the Workplace: Research Tools is a guide designed to provide students with the tools to conduct employer research on their own.  This is a guide to databases and websites that will help students gather the best information about potential employers. It contains guidance on how to read important business documents and how to discover what types of salaries are typical of a chosen field. Road to the Workplace: Research Tools can be accessed at:  http://libguides.marist.edu/RoadtotheWorkplace.



Road to the Workplace: Employer Profiles
Road to the Workplace: Employer Profiles provides collected data on potential employers. Public companies, private companies, non-profit organizations, and government agencies are all represented. Employers have been selected based on their relevance to Marist students seeking employment, and based on some of their relationships with the Marist community. Many in the first batch of profiled employers will be present at the upcoming Fall 2014 Career and Internship Fair.

 Road to the Workplace: Employer Profiles can be accessed at http://library.marist.edu/roadtoworkplace/ or through the link provided on Road to the Workplace: Research Tools.

Road to the Workplace is a new resource, still very much in development. We are looking for feedback to help us to develop the best possible tools for the Marist College community. Please take a few minutes to complete our survey on the Road to the Workplace: Research Tools site.
