Centenary collaborates to present annual Regional Career Fair on March 20
SHREVEPORT, LA — Centenary will partner with several local institutions on Thursday, March 20, to welcome employers to a regional career fair at the LSU-Shreveport University Center. The event runs from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and is free for job-seeking students, continuing education and workforce students, and alumni to attend.
"This event offers an exceptional opportunity for our students to discover and investigate various career paths, connect with industry experts, and build their professional network," said Debbie Bury, Director of Career Services. "Our previous fair was a tremendous success, with 94% of students in attendance rating that the event met or exceeded their expectations. Numerous students secured leads, scheduled interviews for internships and full-time positions, and invaluable networking opportunities. By collaborating with local institutions, we expand the range of opportunities and strengthen our community bonds. Together, we are empowering our students with the self-assurance and drive to embark on their professional careers."
The career fair is a “browse” event that will allow students and job seekers to learn about and interact with approximately 100 employers and recruiters. Employers and recruiters will use the career fair as an opportunity to provide job-seeking students, continuing education and workforce students, and alumni with details about specific job and internship openings and to schedule interviews.
Attendees are encouraged to pre-register for the event at centenary.edu/regionalcareerfair and also to bring several copies of their resumes to leave with potential employers. A list of participating employers and recruiters will be updated at centenary.edu/regionalcareerfair.
Free transportation to and from the Regional Career Fair will be provided by the City of Shreveport. By pre-registering, students will automatically be signed up for the courtesy bus service to the fair.
