(OMA) There is no better way to introduce yourself to potential employers than with a firm handshake and a great place to meet them is at The Durham School Career Fair, Oct. 2-4 at the Scott Conference Center.
The Durham Career Fair is an invaluable opportunity for engineering students to meet employers face-to-face, make contacts, explore career options and inquire about full-time employment and internships.
All students in architectural engineering, civil engineering, construction engineering and construction management are encouraged to attend.
Even as a first-year student, it is important to experience what the career fair offers. There is always the chance that you could land that perfect summer internship. The number of employers attending the career fair continues to grow each year because our students are in demand.
The fair begins Monday, October 2, with Internship Presentations from 4-6 p.m. and a Welcome Reception and Networking Mixer that follows and runs through 7 p.m. Construction and Architectural Engineering students who have completed internships will share their experiences at the presentations. At the reception and mixer, students have the opportunity to connect with industry partners, faculty and staff in a relaxed atmosphere.
On Tuesday, October 3 from 11 a.m. - 4 p.m. is the Career Fair, featuring booths and representatives from more than 80 prospective employers. Nearly 300 students each year attend the fair and meet with employers at their booths.
The fair concludes on Wednesday, October 4 with on-campus interviews from 8-5 p.m. This event gives employers an opportunity to meet with students individually for more formal interviews.
The College of Engineering is offering reserved seats -- http://go.unl.edu/epix -- on the N-E Ride buses, which will transport students for free between Lincoln and Omaha for the Durham School Career Fair on Oct. 3. Shuttles will depart Othmer Hall at 8 a.m., 10 a.m., noon and 2 p.m., and will arrive at PKI at noon, 2 p.m., 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. The walk between PKI and Scott Conference Center is about 10 minutes, so students are asked to plan their times accordingly.
