ECU to host career fairs for students and alumni

East Carolina University Career Services will host two career fairs on Oct. 16 at the Greenville Convention Center. The Engineering, Technology, and Management (ETM) Career Fair will be from 8:30-11:30 a.m., followed by the Job and Internship Fair for all majors from 1:30-4:30 p.m.

The ETM Career Fair is open to all students interested in pursuing jobs and internships with organizations having engineering and technology staffing needs. During the three-hour session, students and alumni will have the opportunity to connect with more than 150 local and national employers in these industries. That afternoon, the Job and Internship Fair will welcome students of all majors at ECU and feature more than 100 organizations.
ECU students and alumni have the opportunity to meet potential employers from across the country recruiting for internships, and part-time and full-time positions. Both career fairs give attendees the opportunity to build connections and secure interviews with potential employers from a variety of industries including science, technology, business, government and health care.
On Oct. 17, ECU Career Services will host more than 60 organizations for on-campus interviews with prospective students who attended the career fairs.
New this fall, ECU Career Services will launch an application called the Fairs App. The app is designed to enhance the student and recruiter experience by allowing up-to-date information sharing before and during on-campus events. The Fairs App is available for Apple and Android devices as well as online (go.ecu.edu/fairsapp).
“We are very excited to see the large number of organizations recruiting ECU students for internships and co-ops, in addition to full-time jobs,” said Tom Halasz, director of ECU Career Services. “This year we will have over 100 organizations recruiting at each of these events. I can’t stress enough what a great opportunity these fairs offer for our students and alumni to find jobs and internships.”
