CLA Internship & Career Fair
What is the CLA Internship & Career Fair?
The 2020 CLA Internship & Career Fair will be held as a virtual career fair. A virtual career fair is an event where employers host virtual booths with representatives from the organization available to talk with you either through 1:1 conversations or group sessions. The goal of the event is to build relationships (i.e. network) with employers so you can explore different career fields, discover position openings, and engage with employers about their organizations and what kind of skills they are seeking for their roles. Often you won’t leave a career fair with a job offer in hand, but you will leave with a better understanding of where you want to apply for positions, how to best represent yourself for those roles, and who to get in touch with to learn more or ask questions. Making a positive impression with employers in person can really help you to stand out in the job or internship application process!
At the CLA Internship & Career Fair, you can explore internship, volunteer, and full-time opportunities with employers from a variety of industries who are interested in hiring CLA students and recent alumni (1-3 years after graduating) for volunteer, internship, and full-time opportunities.
This event is for CLA students and recent alumni* and is FREE to attend. Advance registration by September 14 is recommended to receive updates and tips for a successful virtual fair experience. You are welcome to attend without advance registration as well.
The CLA Internship & Career Fair is for all CLA students. To request accommodations, please contact Emily Gasperlin (egasperl@umn.edu, 612-626-4481).
*Non-CLA UMN students are also welcome to attend the CLA Internship & Career Fair.
