Career and Professional Development asks faculty and staff to encourage students to attend the Career & Internship Fair on Feb. 25. This event at the Kaplan Center gives current students and UNCG alumni the chance to explore career pathways, build professional connections, and learn about the wide range of opportunities available.
The fair runs from noon–4 p.m. in the Kaplan Center for Wellness. Employers representing industries across North Carolina and beyond will be here to connect with students from all majors about internships, part-time roles, and full-time positions.
Students may register in advance on Handshake, where they can also browse the complete list of attending employers.
Faculty are encouraged to bring their classes or allow students to attend during this time so they can meet industry professionals, ask questions, and learn about the many career options related to their fields of study. Students should come prepared to make a strong first impression by dressing in business professional or business casual attire, bringing copies of their résumés, conducting advance research on the companies, and being ready to discuss their skills and goals.
Career and Professional Development will offer preparation sessions leading up to the fair to help students feel confident meeting with employers.
From national companies to regional non-profits and local organizations, the UNCG Career & Internship Fair offers an excellent opportunity for Spartans to expand their networks and connect with recruiters eager to hire UNCG talent.
