“Almost” Spring Job and Internship Fair
Montana State University has planned a full slate of networking and informational events during the third week of February as part of its 14th annual “Almost” Spring Job and Internship Fair.
Multiple networking events, information sessions and receptions will be held leading up to the career fair itself, which will be held from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 21, in the Strand Union Building ballrooms. The event will be the largest spring career fair to date, following a record fall career fair, according to Erin McCormick, associate director of MSU Career, Internship and Student Employment Services.
More than 180 employers are expected to be at the fair with information about careers for MSU students. A list of attendees is available online at montana.edu/aycss/careers/
The fair is organized by MSU Career, Internship and Student Employment Services and the Allen Yarnell Center for Student Success.
The day after the fair will be devoted to interviews, with more than 40 organizations interviewing students for internships and full-time employment. A list of those conducting interviews is also available at the same web address.
Outside the career fair format, students and employers can also meet at four networking events across campus on Wednesday, Feb. 20. Additionally, a variety of information sessions will introduce students to what organizations and companies are looking for in student applicants.
McCormick encouraged attendees to begin researching the organizations that will be recruiting at the fair by downloading the fair’s Career Fair Plus app, which is available for both Android and iOS, and searching it for Montana State University. The app also lets faculty, staff and students view attending employers, the floor map and the full schedule of events.
