Students, it is time to get connected! Here’s an opportunity you don’t want to miss! Come and meet some of the top rated organizations in person who are looking to recruit YOU—-MBA students. Every year several large MBA only career fairs are hosted by national organizations across the country. This is one of the best ways for you to make contacts for potential internship/full-time job opportunities. These career fairs include:
There will be 50-150 companies attending each fair across a wide range of industries and sizes. These events are “MUST attends” for anyone looking for a full time job after graduation since the majority of large US companies plan on attending to find top talent candidates. Please note the conferences are open to ALL students. You do not have to be a specific minority to attend any of these conferences. All students are welcome!
Each student will be covered for up to $275 in expenses which includes the registration fee. All you have to do is write a one page essay on your goals for the conference and why you want to attend.
