Career Services presents annual Local Internship Fair

Syracuse University Career Services within the Division of Student Affairs will host its annual Local Internship Fair in the Panasci Lounge of the Schine Student Center on Tuesday, Sept. 25, from 1-4 p.m.  Representatives from more than 100 organizations from the Central New York area will attend and offer students internship opportunities.

 Supporting the University’s vision of strengthening ties with the surrounding community, the Local Internship Fair helps students identify and pursue internship opportunities in the Central New York region. Employers from a wide variety of industries will be represented, seeking interns for the fall, spring and summer semesters.

In its fourth year, the Local Internship Fair has facilitated many successful connections between employers and interns, and additional employers will be participating in this year’s fair. Some of the participants include:  American Red Cross, Make-A-Wish Foundation, Frito-Lay, the Hershey Co., Aflac, Sarah House, Blue Highway and Time-Warner Cable.

Students will have the opportunity to talk to representatives from the participating organizations and get more information about the organizations and their internships. Students of all majors are encouraged to attend, bring a copy of their resume and dress professionally.

Interested students can find the full list of participating organizations and their internship opportunities through OrangeLink under Career Services on MySlice, or by scanning the QR code on the Internship Fair posters placed around campus.
