Spring Career Fair to feature more than 210 employers

Miami University students seeking an internship or full-time job have an opportunity to interact with employers attending the Spring Career Fair from 1–5:30 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 21, at Millett Hall.

Spring Career Fair will connect thousands of students with more than 210 hiring organizations from business, industry and selected governmental and public service agencies. Organizations participate in the event to help identify talented prospects to invite for interviews.

“It is not uncommon for Miami University to draw almost double the median number of employers recruiting at our career fairs compared to other institutions our size,” said Jen Franchak, assistant vice president of the Center for Career Exploration and Success. “As such, Miami students have more opportunities to connect with employers hiring across multiple career sectors at our career fairs.”

Miami’s Center for Career Exploration and Success has developed numerous programs and increased opportunities for students to begin considering life and career goals their first year at Miami. Among recent enhancements:

  • Targeted communications to first-year students, including a first-year friendly table to help ease students into the Spring Career Fair.
  • A Career Community of alumni, parents, employers and more.
  • Career clusters: occupations within broad career sectors, including data from alumni of various majors and information on transferable skills.
  • Decreased student-to-adviser ratio.
  • Specific programs for diverse student groups.
  • Spring Career Fair Prep Week with various resume and networking programs built to support students attending the event.
  • Networking opportunities with employers in a more intimate setting at the College of Arts and Science Networking Night prior to Spring Career Fair.
  • Specialized use of Handshake software connecting students to potential jobs and internships.
  • A Presidential Career Leadership Series.
