Students can register for the 2020 Virtual Career & Co-op Fair before September 30 to help secure co-ops and full-time career opportunities.
The Mount St. Joseph University Career & Experiential Education Center is excited to invite students to our Virtual Career & Co-op Fair on September 30th from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.
A virtual career fair is an online event (as it takes place at a certain time and is not ongoing) in which employers and job seekers each meet in a virtual environment, using chat rooms, teleconferencing, webcasts, webinars and/or email to exchange information about job openings.
If you have never taken part in a virtual career fair before, The Career & Experiential Education Center is here to help you get ready for this event. By offering a diverse array of employers, our undergraduate students and alumni will have a wider breadth of opportunities, which will ideally lead to securing co-op placements and full-time career opportunities.
Students MUST register before Sept. 30: https://www.careereco.com/events/MSJ
