Student Job and Internship Fair to offer 4,800-plus opportunities

Roughly 120 employers are expected at the Student Job and Internship Fair scheduled for Friday, Jan. 29, in the Barnhardt Student Activity Center.

Organized by the University Career Center, this newly renamed event focuses on internships, co-ops and student jobs (part-time, full-time and temporary jobs that don’t require a degree). These types of opportunities allow students to build their resume through career-relevant experience, gain financial support and explore potential career paths, said Career Center officials.

The Student Job and Internship Fair is from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., and it is open to all undergraduate and graduate students.

Attendees should bring copies of their resume and be prepared to complete job applications; some employers will conduct interviews during the event. Business casual or professional attire is highly recommended.

Representatives from Crown Castle, Autism Charlotte, Bosch Rexroth, Carowinds, Enterprise Rent-a-Car, IKEA, Girl Scouts, Kohl’s, Mooresville Spinners, TIAA-CREF, U.S. National Whitewater Center, the University Professional Internship Program and other organizations will attend.
