From 9am to 12pm on Jan. 28 in Bovee University Center Rotunda, the Central Michigan University's Career Development Center, Nonprofit Leadership Student Alliance and Mount Pleasant Community Foundation is hosting a Nonprofit and Government Internship Career Fair.
The fair is an opportunity for students to network with recruiters that could lead to internships and professional entry-level jobs.
"This is a great opportunity to find an internship or a job for graduating seniors this year,” graduate student Teagan Wertz said. “But even if none of the job prospects work out, it's still a great opportunity to practice networking and practice speaking to professionals within the field. So even if your domain isn't necessarily nonprofits or government, it is still a great opportunity to practice dressing professionally and having professional conversations.”
Central Michigan University's Handshake website asked that students prepare a short, one-minute pitch to introduce themselves to recruiters. Additionally, students must create and bring resumes to pass out to make connections and dress professionally.
The recruiters will be looking at non-profit and government majors, but many will be considering all majors. To view the list of registered employers and research updates and job postings, check Handshake prior to the event.
