Lake Land College's 'Hire a Laker' Campaign has already found success in its first week, connecting a local employer to a recent graduating Lake Land Student. The initiative set off to provide area businesses with the opportunity to hire a Lake Land College graduate to aid in the beginnings of their work career and identify businesses that have a history of hiring Lakers.

Stephanie Anderson, Internship and Employment Coordinator with Career Services at Lake Land recognizes the tough job market and how Hire a Laker is a step in the right direction for students.

Anderson explains that there is a submission form online for employers to seek out the qualified individuals they need. Lake Land works on the social media and website end to recognize and highlight students looking for positions.

The quick response to the Hire a Laker Campaign was not expected says Anderson as one employer already took the opportunity to hire a Laker in the first week of the program's opening.
