Internship Fair
Students Attend Internship Fair
The University of Wisconsin-Parkside Internship Fair was held Oct. 5. UW-Parkside Employer Relations Coordinator Oliver Johnson
recommends internship fairs for both employers and students: "For
students, internships help
put education to use in a professional setting," Johnson said. "They allow students to apply
the concepts and theories they learn while engaging with industry
professionals. Many students look at internships as a way to confirm
their interest in a given field or discipline. Internship also enhance
students' career readiness and expand their professional networks, which are valuable
in their pursuits through college and after graduation."
For years, regional
and national employers such as CNH Industrial, Northwestern Mutual, and Modine
Manufacturing Company have been marketing to the University of
Wisconsin-Parkside students at the university's internship fair. The students
who attend this fair are generally looking for internship positions that will
start during the spring semester or this coming summer, but there will be some
interested in filling a position immediately. The students at Parkside have
time and again shown a great work ethic along with a dedication to the success
of local communities.
Johnson, along with the faculty and staff members of the university encourage both students and employers to take part in internship fairs as well as the other professional opportunities offered at Parkside.
