ECU to host virtual job and internship fair

ECU Career Services will host the 2020 Fall Job and Internship Fair from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Oct. 7 virtually through the job database called Handshake. The event is open to all ECU students and alumni.

More than 50 employers hiring for internships, part-time, co-op and full-time positions will provide information on their career opportunities. Employers will have group and one-on-one sessions available for students to connect with recruiters throughout the six-hour virtual event.
