AVENICA, INC.
PRIOR LAKE, MN

Avenica, Inc., established in 1998, focuses on connecting top talent among recent college graduates with companies looking to fill entry-level professional roles. With a network that spans seven regional offices and collaborates with over 900 colleges across the U.S., Avenica stands out for its deep understanding of entry-level job placements. One of their key challenges is guiding graduates unsure of where they can apply their newly acquired skills, a gap they bridge using an innovative skill-matching technique rooted in behavioral science. The company's Evaluation-to-Hire process is highly respected, with successful onboarding rates where over 85% stay on after the trial period. Leading Avenica is Brian Weed as CEO, who brings nearly three decades of leadership experience to the table. He is supported by a team including Kara Westrich as Chief Operating Officer, Jacqueline Wolfson overseeing corporate support, Jared Phillips steering sales and business development, Dana Sokoll handling broader business avenues, and former CEO Bob LaBombard contributing his expertise. Headquartered in Minneapolis since 2008, following a strategic rebranding effort (F08000003565), Avenica continues to serve as a reliable partner for grads nationwide.
