Students at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock can look forward to increasing their career opportunities and enhancing their resumes during the 2017 Career and Internship Extravaganza Wednesday, March 8.

The event will take place in the Jack Stephens Center from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Students will have the chance to have professional headshots taken, attend workshops aimed at preparing them for future careers, and even register to win a tablet.

“The Career and Internship Extravaganza offers students career skills training and an opportunity to interact with employers who are actively seeking to hire,” said Sarah Beth Estes, Interim Executive Director of the Community Connections Center. “The event gives students the chance for area employers to put a face with a name and a venue for practicing professional interaction skills.  The event offers motivated and prepared students the opportunity to secure full-time employment in their chosen field.”

For students unable to attend the career fair, Career Services workshops are offered weekly from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Tuesdays and 1 to 2 p.m. on Wednesdays and Thursdays. The Trojan Career Closet will have extended days and hours from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 27, Tuesday, Feb. 28, Monday, March 6, and Tuesday, March 7.

More information for students, including tips for attire and a list of employers and organizations scheduled to attend, is available online.
