Once a semester, Miami University welcomes hundreds of local employers to the campus, to offer students the opportunity to connect with possible industries or learn about future jobs. Opportunities include internships, part-time work and full-time careers. From the U.S. Army Reserves to local nonprofits, the fair offered students a wide range of potential career paths.
Recently, thirty-four booths were set up in Wilks Conference Center. The occupations represented included, among others: law enforcement; health and behavioral care; insurance; specialized camps; and a couple of booths associated with the university already, such as Collage2Careers and Miami’s own HR department.
Sometimes, booths were set up of more obscure organizations, which led to the students finding them as opposed to them finding the students. Recreation Unlimited is a nonprofit organization catering to individuals with disabilities or health concerns, offering year-round education, recreation and engagement opportunities in a summer-camp-like setting. More information can be found on their website.
