Saint Mary’s University students can prepare themselves for the Minnesota Private Colleges Job and Internship Fair on Feb. 16-17, at the Minneapolis Convention Center.
The Minnesota Private Colleges Job and Internship Fair is an annual event specifically geared toward currently enrolled sophomores, juniors and seniors. The event is sponsored by the Minnesota Private Colleges Career Services Association. The fair is a place where more than 150 organizations, including Mayo Clinic, Target Corporation, Teach for America and the Peace Corps, actively recruit to fill job and internship opportunities.
“Each year, we (SMU) have anywhere between 30 and 50 students that attend this fair,” said Jackie Baker, director of Career Services and Internships. The fair provides several chances for students to promote themselves to gain confidence when going out into the workforce and show employers what they have to offer. The students who attend get the opportunity for face-to-face interaction employers, interviewing experience and can possibly even get a job or an internship. Students have the ability to meet with over 150 employers in one building and also enables students to network.
“It’s a great event,” said Baker. “It’s an event everyone should attend!”
Pre-registration for the Job and Internship Fair is required before Feb. 12, and costs $14. For more information, students can contact the Career Services and Internships Department in Saint Mary’s Hall, room 136 or visit www.smumn.edu/careerservices and click on “Job & Internship Fair Graphic.”
