CHARLES TOWN, W.V.,
Sept. 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/
-- In today's competitive job market with historically high
unemployment due to COVID-19, millions of candidates are searching
for work, yet in many professions – including nursing, public
health and cybersecurity – the need for skilled professionals far
outweighs the current pipeline of applicants. Recognizing this
opportunity, American Public University System (APUS) has launched
APUS CareerLink, an innovative, custom-built online resource
designed specifically for our 100,000-plus alumni and 82,000
students, approximately 88 percent of whom are working
professionals.
APUS CareerLink showcases curated jobs from vetted employers who
see value in the many skills that American Military University and
American Public University students and graduates possess, such as
leadership, perseverance, problem-solving and collaboration. The
platform features a range of enriching and rewarding job openings
nationwide across several different experience levels and
industries.
"APUS is fully committed to driving favorable student outcomes,
and we want our students and alumni to know they are not in this
alone," said Christine Muncy,
Associate Vice President, Career Services for APUS. "While there
are many resources already in the market, our dynamic platform
offers a unique, and powerful tool that helps match employers with
a deep pool of qualified and highly skilled professionals."
APUS CareerLink, which features an easy-to-navigate interface
that is accessible from a student's e-campus, enables users to
build profiles that can be viewed by select recruiters — the same
ones they may meet at APUS virtual career events. Jobs can be
searched based on location, degree program, certifications and
security clearances.
"Our hope with developing APUS CareerLink was to help bridge the
gap between students and the ever-changing job market, and we know
every possible resource can make a difference," said Muhammad Younas, CEO of vFairs, which APUS chose
to help create the online resource. "It's always exciting for us to
push our platform's capabilities forward, and we're honored to work
with APUS to best serve the needs of both students and alumni.
APUS CareerLink is part of a robust package of career services
offered by APUS's Department of Career Services. It is accessible
to all certificate and degree-seeking APUS students who have
started their first course; access continues so long as they are
active students.
