All students, regardless of class year and major, are invited to prepare and register for Fall 2021 Virtual Career Week events. Following last year’s inaugural Virtual Career Week, Syracuse University Career Services alongside career colleagues at the schools and colleges have once again organized an entirely virtual Career Week.
During Career Week, opportunities are at student’s fingertips for internships, trainings in professional development skills and general professional employment exploration. Bringing nearly 300 top employers face-to-face with our students, the opportunities are endless. With a total of four fairs, employers come to recruit students for internships and full-time, entry-level opportunities. Students will gain confidence speaking with future employers, while uncovering opportunities that fit their career goals, and even obtain offers.
The Syracuse University network spreads far and wide with a variety of industries and companies. Often, representatives from the organizations at each fair are alumni of Syracuse University. This offers students a unique opportunity to talk directly with a recruiter from their field of interest who was once in their position here at the University.
Registration for Career Week is required; students can complete registration via Handshake. Additionally, in preparation for Career Week students should attend the offered workshops to better game plan for these networking opportunities with recruiters.
Students should take time to prepare their resume, explore networking best practices and attend a virtual drop-in session. Access the available workshops leading up to Career Week here.
Students seeking any additional support before or after Career Week should connect with Syracuse University Career Services. Schedule an in-person appointment or attend weekly virtual drop-in sessions. For further information visit the Career Services website.
