Originally scheduled for Jan. 25, the event will be open to the public.
“The Interstate Career Fair is an opportunity for students to make direct connections with employers,” said Robin Lay, director of career services at Tusculum College. “This is where students learn about professional opportunities and how to talk about themselves professionally.”
With more than 70 employers and graduate schools seeking qualified candidates, there will be opportunities for full-time, part-time, internship and summer positions.
Lay said, “Career fairs are incredibly valuable. When students talk to potential employers and graduate school representatives, it really brings it home what they’ve learned.”
Employers from across the East Tennessee region will be recruiting at the fair, and assistance with resumes, interview preparation and job-databases will be provided at no cost by the Tennessee Career Coach staff, who will also attend the event.
