Q&A with Rosemarie Berman, Director of Corporate Learning Partnerships

Rosemarie, thanks for agreeing to speak with us! First, please tell us a little about yourself.

I joined Berkeley College a little over two years ago as Director of Career Services for the Online Campus. I moved to my current role as Director of the Corporate Learning Partnership program in April of last year. In this most recent position, I am responsible for building relationships with companies to assist them with their employee development initiatives and the investment in their own future success by developing a better educated workforce. 

Message from the Alumni Director

Hello!  Two months into the new year, I am proud to say that the Berkeley College alumni network is growing stronger every day.  The Official Berkeley College Network on LinkedIn has more than 843 members, and our Facebook page has grown to more than 550 fans.  I can’t stress those numbers enough – whether you are a job seeker or a current student, retired or transitioning to a new career, the Berkeley College alumni network is the best place to make connections for professional advancement.

Alumni Celebrate 2011 in Hasbrouck Heights

On January 20, more than 20 recent alumni and friends visited the Hasbrouck Heights Holiday Inn to meet, chat and celebrate the new year.

“It was a great time,” said Michael Smullen, Director of Alumni Relations.  “This was a great chance for alumni to come out and have a good time, see old friends and make new ones.  I look forward to doing more events like this in the future.”

I recently spoke with an alum who was searching for her profile on LinkedIn. She told me that she had just completed a search using her zip code along with a keyword search, but her profile only appeared on the 10th page. I let her know that it wasn’t a question of popularity, but I resolved to find out why she wasn’t ranked higher.
