Employer Advisory Committee
Mission
To provide a forum for employers and Cerritos College Career Student Employment staff to engage in relevant discussions regarding a wide variety of career and employment issues. Information gathered from these discussions will contribute to the quality and impact of services and programs for Cerritos College students.
The Advisory Board of Directors will include representatives from a wide variety of industries which employ college graduates in the greater Los Angeles area and portions of Orange County. This board will meet at least twice each year on the Cerritos College campus. Faculty members and other college staff (from related areas) may interact with Board members while they are on campus.
