Online career fair will connect thousands of
military students and alumni to more than 20 employers
nationwide
DeVry University’s Career Services department will hold its
first virtual career fair for veterans today, Sept. 16, from noon
to 3 p.m. CDT. The event will offer students and alumni with
military backgrounds a convenient opportunity to connect with
employers via computer, smartphone or tablet no matter what their
location.
“We’ve hosted two virtual career fairs to date, but this is our
first opportunity geared specifically toward military students and
alumni,” said Madeleine Slutsky, vice president of career and
student services at DeVry University. “Many of our military
students are stationed in remote locations, so we are ecstatic to
give them the chance to meet with employers and build professional
connections all around the country.”
More than 20 companies and nonprofit organizations will
participate in the career fair, including Xerox, Experis, ADT
Security Services, Workforce Opportunity Services, Steris
Corporation and Apria Healthcare.
The event is open to veterans transitioning to the workforce;
veterans or active-duty military personnel who are ready to explore
new career options; and military spouses and immediate family
members. The event aims to connect students and alumni to jobs that
not only use their DeVry University education, but also draw on the
skills they have developed through their military experience.
DeVry University military students and alumni received a formal
invitation to the event, which included a link to upload a résumé,
photo and other information for potential employers’ review.
Confirmed participants can log into the career fair website before
the event to search job listings, connect with recruiters and
research participating organizations. Employers will conduct live
one-on-one chats during the event and will schedule interviews for
afterward. Job listings from the career fair will remain active as
long as the positions stay open.
DeVry University provides extensive career services to current
students and alumni. This year alone, more than 500 students and
alumni have participated in two virtual career fairs, with four
more scheduled in the near future. These events sparked more than
900 one-on-one conversations between DeVry University students and
alumni and participating employers.
