to students and employers

Yuma, AZ  - The Career and Advisement Services at Arizona Western College (AWC ) is pleased to announce the launch of a new website located at: www.azwestern.edu/careerservices, which will further enhance the services offered to Arizona Western College students, alumni and employers.

Powered by CSO Research's Interfase system, this new site streamlines student and employer registration, resume referrals, document management, placement tracking, job posting and management, onsite recruitment, and career events management.  As a result, students have 24/7 access to easily register, search jobs, send online inquiries, and manage multiple resumes, cover letters, and other employment related documents.  Employers can quickly and easily post on and off campus employment, internships and volunteer opportunities to AWC Students and Alumni.  Employers can choose to receive "online applications" directly from the system with current resumes attached, sign up for career fairs and much more.

"We are very excited about the launch of this new website as it exemplifies the focus of our office on supporting the needs of AWC students, alumni and employers.  By implementing this new system we will continue to enhance our services related to full-time employment, internships/cooperative education, student employment, volunteer service learning, federal work-study, alumni employment and more", said Jim Hutchison, Director of Career and Advisement Services.
