ECU to host fall engineering and technology fair
ECU Career Services will host the virtual 2020 Fall Engineering and Technology Fair from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Oct. 14 through the job database called Handshake. The event is open to all ECU students and alumni.
The fair is an academically focused event for any student or alumnus interested in pursuing jobs and internships with organizations that have engineering and technology hiring needs. Employers will have group and one-on-one sessions available for students to sign up and connect with recruiters throughout the six-hour event. During these sessions, recruiters will provide information on their organization’s career opportunities.
