Kettering, OH, 10/18/16 - Learning about local career opportunities that exist within a large international business is not something students have the chance to do everyday, but on Tuesday DRSS students did just that.
This week, employees from LexisNexis, an internationally-recognized provider of legal, government, business, and high-tech information sources, visited DRSS to meet with students to participate in its Power Lunch program.
During
their visit, representatives from the LexisNexis Managed Technology
Solutions and Customer Support divisions sent a team of representatives
to profile some of the career opportunities available through their
organization’s corner of the tech sector.
Students then had lunch with the presenters, where they had the opportunity to ask them about how they got to where they are today in their careers, what they like and dislike about their jobs, and much more.
Jackie
Anderson, Associate Business Relationship Manager, believes that these
visits benefit LexisNexis as well, explaining that, "No doubt, some of
the student participants will be innovating right here at LexisNexis in
the not too distant future."
Community Outreach Director, Arch Grieve, noted the importance of partnerships like these, explaining that, "This visit from LexisNexis is an incredible opportunity for our students to actually interact with individuals who have 'made it' in their careers. The ability of our students to actually sit down, each lunch with them, and ask them how they got to where they are today is huge. We're extremely grateful to the folks at LexisNexis for their support not only of our Power Lunch program, but also for their participation in our job shadow program, their hosting of students for internships, and their participation in our annual College & Career Fair program."
