NECC President Lane Glenn, Ashley Moore, and BBJ Publisher Carolyn M. Jones.<\/p><\/div>\n

Ashley Moore of Haverhill, director of academic, career & civic engagement at Northern Essex Community College, has been selected as one of the Boston Business Journal\u2019s (BBJ) 40 under 40.<\/p>\n

She was nominated for the honor by Northern Essex President Lane Glenn, who wrote \u201cIn just four short years, Ashley Moore has rebuilt Northern Essex Community College\u2019s Career Services<\/a>, creating a pipeline between our students and area employers with workforce needs.\u201d<\/p>\n

BBJ received nearly 350 nominations for the award which recognizes \u201cthe best and brightest in Massachusetts.\u201d\u00a0 Moore and the other awardees from for-profit, nonprofit and government were honored at an October 19 ceremony at the YMCA of Greater Boston.<\/p>\n

Moore, 31, was hired by the college in 2013 as career connections coordinator after serving as a graduate fellow at Northern Essex while working on her master\u2019s in higher education at Merrimack College.<\/p>\n

One of her first accomplishments, working closely with faculty and area employers, was building an internship program<\/a>, focusing on four academic areas: business<\/a>, journalism\/communications<\/a>, art<\/a>, and computer information sciences<\/a>.\u00a0 Students are now placed in internships with more than 65 employers and the numbers keep growing.<\/p>\n

Moore also created a career center that opened on the college\u2019s Haverhill this fall and has plans to open a career center in Lawrence in the near future; revitalized on campus recruitment, creating On-Campus Employer Recruitment Weeks, which bring over 40 employers to campus each semester; implemented NECCLink<\/a>, a career service management platform, which enables the business community to post jobs and internships for Northern Essex students; and started an annual Networking Night which, now in its third year, attracts close to 200 students and employers.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is such an honor to be nominated and selected for this award,\u201d said Ashley. \u201cI truly love what I do at NECC because it allows me to make a positive impact on the community each day. I am excited to continue to build upon what we have started here at the college.\u201d<\/p>\n

When she started, she was a one-woman show, working with a small budget and a great deal of sweat equity. Since then, she\u2019s hired a full-time internship program\/career services coordinator and works with a part-time career coach for our Lawrence campus.\u00a0 She\u2019s also hired interns to help with branding and program development.<\/p>\n

Moore earned a degree in Corporate Finance and Accounting and a Master\u2019s in Taxation from Bentley University, and, after working as an accountant, decided to pursue a career in education, enrolling in Merrimack College\u2019s Master\u2019s in Higher Education.\u00a0 She says her own career change has made her well-prepared to help others with their career journeys.<\/p>\n
