Career Services Information Sessions

What is a Co-op? What is an Internship? Where can I find Career Opportunities? What opportunities are available? What types of Careers are available in my field of study? What does this company do? What do they look for in an employee?

Have you been looking for the answers to these questions and more? Then come to one of the Career Services Information Sessions.

During these sessions staff from the Office of Career Services and Professional Development will provide information on: the benefits of obtaining an internship, co-op, or career opportunity, how to utilize career services, how to receive credit for internships and co-ops, average pay rates, and current opportunities available.

Also at designated sessions, employers are invited to present information on their company. These sessions are a great way to determine if you would like to intern, co-op, or maybe work for the companies.
