Open House and Career Expo to Be Held on April 11, 2025

Jefferson Community College (JCC) will host its annual Open House and Career Expo (OHCE) on Friday, April 11, 2025, giving students a unique opportunity to explore academic programs while making valuable career connections. Check-in begins at 8:15 a.m. in the Jules Center Commons (Building 6).

This year marks the anniversary of Jefferson’s restructured open house event featuring a networking fair with local employers. Chelsea Marra, Director of Admissions, says students shouldn’t have to wait until after college to start making career connections. "Our goal is to create an event that empowers prospective students with the knowledge and resources to make informed decisions about their college paths and simultaneously, connect them with industry professionals early on in their decision making,” Marra said. 

Highlights of Jefferson’s OHCE include:

• A networking fair featuring 40+ local employers offering career guidance, job opportunities, and insights into in-demand skills.
• An opportunity to meet faculty and ask questions about specific academic programs of interest.
• Campus tours showcasing JCC’s facilities, residence halls, and resources.
• An opportunity to hear from current students about academics, campus life, and athletics.
• Student services fair where prospective students can learn more career services, access and opportunity programs, veteran services and more.

The event will also feature keynote speaker Eric Mina, an inspirational speaker, hypnotherapist, entrepreneur, author, and philanthropist. Described by CBS as amazingly hysterical, Mina holds a psychology degree from Penn State University and has captivated audiences across the U.S. and internationally, including in Las Vegas, New York, and Australia.
