H2O has been created to help a variety of college students find applicable jobs upon graduation. H2O provides the students with the opportunity to intern with well-established companies. This opportunity prepares students for their role as faithful, informed, and articulate members of the business world.
The particular mission of H2O is to assist college graduates in becoming leaders and to excel within their particular field of study. We feel that we furnish the tools to stimulate the graduate in a positive direction. We believe that all students have the ability to learn and be successful. An internship with our business contacts will provide a variety of strategies to ensure student success. We believe that every student deserves a rich education and career guidance in order to develop the self knowledge necessary to make sound educational and career decisions. All students inherently want to be successful and we realize that in order for them to do so we must provide the means to help them reach their full potential. We believe that all students deserve a rich educational experience which encourages them to reach a high level of achievement and contribute as leaders and innovators in their careers. As a group we will communicate our high expectations for student and business in order for both parties to achieve their desired goals.
As many college students look forward to graduation they often assume that the job opportunities will be endless. Unfortunately, with the current state of our economy, this assumption is not always true. According to a recent poll by the NACE, employers are looking to hire 3.6% fewer college graduates this spring than in previous years. Financial service companies alone are expected to cut hiring by 11.2% in 2003. The southern region of the United States is expected to face tough times, and is looking to cut nearly 1.2% of hiring across the board. As graduates soon realize, nothing is more appealing on a resume than real world experience.
