S2 E2 Bringing Businesses into the School

• Host: Dr. Kasie Whitener, Clinical Assistant Professor, Management Department,Darla Moore School of Business 
• Guest: Jamie Peebles, Employer Relations Manager at the Darla Moore School of Business Office of Career Management

The Moore School’s Office of Career Management focuses on the critical metric of job placement and assists our constituents in several critical ways. In this episode, Jamie Peebles, Employer Relations Manager, talks about the way OCM identifies right-fit companies to partner with and encourages those firms to participate in a variety of activities.

Among the OCM activities:

• Topic panels - an assembly of employers with a job-function commonality such as the upcoming financial crimes panel
• Partner focus days - in conjunction with the South Carolina Manufacturers’ Alliance for Manufacturing Day at the Moore School
• Business Expo - employers fill the Convention Center and meet students to begin conversations that may lead to interviews, internships, and even jobs.

Jamie is a lifelong Gamecock whose grandfather worked in the physics department, he’s an alum of Carolina who was glad to come back seven years ago and help students get connected with potential employers. If you’re a business who wants to get connected with the Moore School through OCM, email Jamie at [email protected].
