Cullen hopes to grow these numbers in order to create more opportunities for students.

“It’s not just employers coming to me, it’s me trying to actively recruit employers to make JJC the first choice for recruitment,” says Cullen.

This is a lifetime service, Cullen adds, with students and alumni eligible for assistance through Career Services.
