The CollegeCentral.com/mdccjobs website makes it both FREE and easy for all employers—large and small, public and private—to register just once and then post an unlimited number of jobs to Maryland’s community college students and alumni! This is an extraordinarily useful resource for employers hiring in today’s climate, even with temporarily closed or restricted campuses, and students having to return home.
Employers posting jobs today can simultaneously reach tens of thousands of job seekers from nine community and technical colleges, including Anne Arundel Community College, Baltimore City Community College, Cecil College, College of Southern Maryland, Frederick Community College, Hagerstown Community College, Prince George’s Community College, The Community College of Baltimore County, and Wor-Wic Community College.
According to Joy Miller, CCN’s Career Services Central® National Sales Manager, “The reason the Consortium is launching at this time is two-fold: First, we want everything in place before the pandemic ends, and ready for employers needing to hire and ramp up quickly to reopen their businesses.
“Second, hiring is already expanding in some essential service sectors that need workers now. Community college job seekers are already positioned to jump in and help their state’s workforce immediately.”

Miller further explained, “The country is dealing with unprecedented circumstances. Food and convenience stores have increased their hiring. Manufacturing plants and distribution centers have increased hiring. Delivery services have job openings for truck and delivery drivers, as well as warehouse workers. Fast food businesses relying on being open are looking for full-time and part-time workers in a variety of roles, as many restaurants and quick-service chains have shifted to takeout, delivery, drive-thru, and pick-up only. Internet and telecommunication companies are hiring, as reliable online connectivity is essential during this crisis. Businesses supporting telecommunications are also hiring. Certain manufacturers now need a greater labor force to produce more ventilators as breathing machines are critical to saving lives of patients with severe coronavirus cases. Plus, other companies are being reconfigured to manufacture other materials hospitals need and that are in short supply.”
“The Maryland Community Colleges Jobs Consortium provides employers with direct access to our state’s job-ready talent!” said Alicia Jackson-Warren, Program Director of Career Development and Internships, at Prince George’s Community College.
“The Consortium is simple in concept: Maryland employers need more workers and the Consortium’s member colleges are training students to meet our state’s workforce needs. It connects opportunities for skilled students with employers and simplifies the in-state hiring process,” Jackson-Warren continued.
According to David Jones, Director of Advising, Career and Transfer Services, College of Southern Maryland, “The Consortium makes it simple for employers to post jobs for free and, with a single post, reach all nine colleges’ students!” Jones added, “Not only do employers register just once to post an unlimited number of jobs, they can decide, on a posting-by-posting basis, to include all Maryland member community colleges or only specific schools.”
