WARRENSBURG, MO 鈥� The 欧美视频 Career Services Center has announced plans to host two virtual career expos in September that are specifically targeted toward degree programs within two UCM academic colleges in addition to other August and September activities that will be of interest to a wide range of other students.

 

Included in the fall semester lineup is the Harmon College of Business and Professional Studies Virtual Career Expo, Sept. 9, and the College of Health, Science and Technology Career Expo Thursday, Sept. 10. Career Services has designed these events to make it possible for students to connect with employers who are actively hiring for positions directly related to their majors. Graduates and professional schools will also participate in the event, providing answers to questions about their programs and application processes.

 

According to Joni Porter, employer relations representative at the Career Center, attending a career expo is an ideal time for students to meet professionals in their industry or major, ask questions, distribute resumes, and explore a multitude of career opportunities. All students are encouraged to attend, regardless of class status. Underclassmen will find these events to be beneficial as they will provide an outlook on the job market. Juniors and seniors, or anyone interested in pursuing employment (full-time or internship) opportunities, should activate their Handshake account, upload a current resume and complete their profile information, she said.

 

The Career Services Center will provide informational webinars to help guide students through the process and will be available to assist students during the event. Technology will also be available in the computer lab on the second floor of the Ward Edwards Building for students who do not have a device to connect online.
