Dear
Recruiter:
The M.E.
Rinker, Sr. School of Building Construction has a Job Placement
Center to assist students in obtaining permanent employment and
internships and in turn assist recruiters in finding students, and
posting employment and internship opportunities. The office provides
multiple ways for companies to recruit students, through bi-annual
career fairs, on-campus interviews, company information sessions, and
a job postings website accessible to current students and BCN alumni.
The Fall
and Spring career fairs are the most popular way to recruit students.
Each semester over 100 companies and over 400 students, including BCN, pre-BCN students, Architecture and
Engineering students, and students from other Construction Programs
in Florida, attend the career fairs. A majority of the students are
interested in the commercial field, with residential and
heavy/industrial being the next top ranking interest. BCN highly
encourages both pre-BCN and BCN students to obtain internships and
participate in as many as possible, throughout their college career.
In addition to students looking for permanent employment, over half
of the students attending the fair are looking for internships, both
three month and eight month in duration.
The
Rinker School also provides classroom and interview space for
companies to conduct information sessions and interview students
throughout the semester. Information sessions are a great way to
familiarize students with what you have to offer as an employer. If
you are interested in reserving an interview room and classroom space
for an information session please contact the Job Placement Office.
Our
on-line JOB POSTINGS board allows any company to post employment and
internship opportunities. This website is accessible to current BCN
students and BCN alumni. If you are interested in posting an opening
please click on the following link:

There are so many ways
to get involved here at the Rinker School and recruit students. If
you have any questions or concerns regarding job placement, please
contact Kim Stanley at (352) 273-1187 or kimms@ufl.edu.
