King's College, Wilkes-Barre, PA, is an independent Catholic College founded in 1946 by the Holy Cross Fathers of the University of Notre Dame. The College offers a variety of well recognized academic programs at both the bachelor's and master's degree levels. Education at King's College is student centered. The faculty are committed to excellent teaching as their first responsibility, both in the core curriculum of general studies which all undergraduates follow, and in the major programs of the College of Arts and Sciences and the William G. McGowan School of Business.
The academic curriculum is complemented by a full program of co-curricular organizations and activities which contribute to the cultural, spiritual and personal development of students. Faculty and professional staff share responsibility for working with students formally and informally as advisors, coaches, counselors, and mentors to foster a climate of support and concern in a community committed to academic excellence, social responsibility, and mutual respect.
We invite you to tap into the tremendous resources available in King's College students and graduates by participating in recruitment and career related activities. The following is a sample of what the King's College Office of Career Planning and Placement has to offer employers.
ON-CAMPUS RECRUITMENT
Employers are most welcome to conduct on-campus interviews to recruit candidates for current and/or anticipated openings in their organizations. A resume pre-screening system is used to make the interview process more efficient and effective. In addition to on-campus recruitment, participation in job fairs is also encouraged.

Contact the office for additional information regarding this service.
SITE VISITS
