Students can connect with potential employers and get more information regarding various fields and job opportunities next week.
Career Services invites all students and alumni to attend the events hosted during next week’s Career Week.
The purpose of hosting a career fair is “to connect employers in diverse fields with our awesome students,” said Amelia Hurt, director of Career Services. “Students should see this as a chance to get comfortable in an environment where the employers want to meet you.”
There will be three events during Career Week, each offering students exposure and opportunities.
The Human Services and Health Careers Fair will be from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Tuesday. Employers looking to recruit students in the fields of nursing, behavioral studies, education, social work, and non-profit will be there to speak to students.
The second event is an etiquette dinner at 5:30 p.m. Feb. 10. The cost of the dinner is a meal card swipe. Students must R.S.V.P. to careerservices@okcu.edu.
The last event during Career Week is the General Career and Internship Fair from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Feb. 11. The General Career Fair and Internship event attracts employers within the realm of management, finance, accounting, marketing, sales, and the justice system.
All events will be in the Great Hall in Tom and Brenda McDaniel University Center.
Career Services helps students develop a professional resume, articulate career goals and practice interviewing techniques. Students should make the most out of Career Week because it is not an experience they will have in the post-graduation job market, Hurt said.
Students are interested in what they may gain from the week.
“It could really help students find jobs, which we need because we’re all poor,” said Kayla McKenna, mass communications sophomore.
