More than 50 local and national companies in a wide variety of industries had tables at the Center for Career Development’s first Job and Internship Fair. Companies included Coca-Cola, PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) and the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders, among many others.
“One of our goals is to facilitate more opportunities for our students, both internships and full-time. We want to get as many recruiters on campus as possible,” said Chris Whitney G’06, director of the Gerard R. Roche Center for Career Development. “This will help the recruiters to understand our culture and why they should hire more Scranton students.”
Members of the Center for Career Development were available at the event to provide students with useful career advice, including how to follow up with potential employers.
More than 250 students attended the fair.
