Job Description

Help healthcare students turn their education into a career!

Do you enjoy coaching people, building employer relationships, and seeing your work produce measurable results?

Unitek College is looking for a relationship-driven professional who can help healthcare students and graduates prepare for interviews, connect with employers, and secure meaningful employment in their field. This is not a traditional desk-based advising role. You will work directly with students, graduates, healthcare employers, faculty, and campus leaders to move people from the classroom into the workforce.

What you will do:

  • Coach students and graduates on resumes, job-search strategies, interviewing, networking, and professional communication.
  • Build relationships with healthcare employers to generate externship-to-hire and direct-hire opportunities.
  • Connect graduates with job openings, interviews, hiring events, and employer introductions.
  • Lead job-readiness workshops, classroom presentations, mock interviews, and career events.
  • Manage a student and graduate caseload, maintain consistent follow-up, and help candidates work through barriers affecting employment.
  • Track employer outreach, student engagement, interviews, placements, and employment outcomes in company systems.
  • Partner with faculty, campus leadership, and externship teams to improve graduate employment and externship-to-hire results.

How you will know you are succeeding. This is a results-driven role. Success includes:

  • Students complete required career-readiness activities on time.
  • Graduates remain engaged throughout the job search.
  • Employer relationships produce qualified interview and hiring opportunities.
  • Externship and clinical experiences convert into employment when possible.
  • Assigned programs meet or exceed graduate employment expectations.
  • Records remain accurate, complete, and ready for reporting or audit.

You may be a strong fit if you have experience in:

  • Career services or graduate placement
  • Staffing or recruiting
  • Healthcare recruiting
  • Workforce development
  • Employer relations or account management
  • Admissions or enrollment advising
  • Business development or community outreach
  • High-volume case management in a performance-driven environment

Qualifications

What experience you will bring:

  • At least five years of combined experience in career services, recruiting, staffing, workforce development, employer relations, account management, admissions, outreach, or a closely related field.
  • At least two years of direct experience in coaching, advising, placement, recruiting, business development, or relationship management.
  • The ability to build rapport while still holding students and graduates accountable.
  • Strong follow-through and the ability to manage deadlines, competing priorities, and a high-volume caseload.
  • Confidence communicating with students, graduates, healthcare employers, faculty, and campus leaders.
  • Comfort working with performance metrics, databases, CRM systems, and detailed documentation.
  • A bachelor’s degree is preferred, but directly relevant experience and demonstrated performance will also be considered.

This role is a particularly good match for someone who:

  • Enjoys both coaching people and developing business relationships.
  • Gets satisfaction from helping someone land a job.
  • Works with urgency and does not wait for candidates or employers to come to them.
  • Can balance empathy with accountability.
  • Likes measurable goals and knows how to adjust when results fall behind.
  • Is comfortable representing the college in the Reno healthcare community.


Additional Information

We Offer:

  • Medical, Dental and Vision starting the 1st of the month following 30 days of employment
  • 2 Weeks’ starting Vacation per year. Increasing based on years of service with the company
  • 12 paid Holidays and 2 Floating Holiday
  • 401K with a Company Match
  • Company Paid Life Insurance at 1x’s your annual salary
  • Leadership development and training for career advancement
