The annual College of Business and Engineering Career and Internship Fair recently took place in the McHale Athletic Center. More than 50 companies and organizations participated in the event.
The fair was open to all students interested in working in the business, engineering and technology fields. Students had the opportunity to meet with prospective employers and internship sites for those interested.
The Center for Career Development and Internships helped prepare students by conducting mock interviews, reviewing resumes and preparing students for interviews and networking skills.
The Colonel Clothes Closet also provided students with the opportunity to find professional wear for the event free of charge.
For first-year students in business, engineering and technology fields, the Career Development Center conducted a first year career bingo which consisted of questions students can ask employers, as well as questions related to their interests.
Once the students spoke with employers, they received a sticker which they placed on the appropriate section of the card. When students “won” bingo, they handed their card to the registration table and were entered in various gift card giveaways.
Some of the different companies and organizations in attendance included Target, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Proctor and Gamble, Mountain Productions, Hershey Entertainment and Resorts and Kearney and Company.
Each organization offered a variety of opportunities for students, including internships, jobs and graduate school opportunities.
For those who missed the fall semester career and internship fair, there will be another held during the spring semester.
