Career Workshop

The dress is business casual. Employers and other exhibitors will be in attendance for networking opportunities throughout the day and are very interested in meeting you!

Each company will have a table and you are free to visit and network with any or all of the exhibitors. There will be no pre-arranged interviews at the Workshop, however if an exhibitor wishes to meet with you privately they will coordinate that with you directly.

Exhibitors will receive a resume book of all pre-registered Workshop attendees, we recommend that you bring 25 copies of your resume with you to the Workshop. As you meet and speak with the exhibitors, you may find it helpful to provide them with a resume to view immediately.
