Are you a Spartanburg area employer with job and/or internship opportunities, now or in the foreseeable future? You need to be at Careers After Class.
The College Town Consortium is excited to announce Careers After Class, a collaborative college career fair. Designed to retain talent, the fair connects Spartanburg area employers to Spartanburg college students exploring career and internship opportunities. This is your opportunity to place students into your talent pipeline by showcasing the career opportunities available at your company.
How it works:
This isn’t your traditional career fair. Instead of being stuck behind a stuffy six-foot table, employers will be based at high-top networking tables. You’ll mix and interact with students from five undergraduate institutions for two hours of conversation and relationship building. Headliners (featured employers seeking talent) will have the chance to give a live pitch during the event to spotlight their company.
*Employers may set up between 1-2 pm, meet and greet from 2 -3 pm, and begin networking with students promptly at 3 pm.*
Participating Colleges:- Converse College- Spartanburg Community College- Spartanburg Methodist College- USC Upstate- Wofford College
What to bring:
Bring yourself, your business cards, flyers or pamphlets about your company and its careers. Please do not bring pop-up banners or displays.
Limited space available. This event is designed for employers in Spartanburg County, however, we will consider outside employers as space allows. Please contact us if you have any questions: email or call 864.594.5000.
