Regional Small Employer Fair
Regional Small Employer Fair & Networking Event
Wednesday, March 7, 2012
On behalf of the Associated Colleges (Clarkson University, St. Lawrence University, SUNY Canton, SUNY Potsdam) and Penski Staffing, we cordially invite you to attend our 2nd annual Regional Small Employer Career/Internship Fair & Networking Event, to be held on Wednesday, March 7th, 2012, hosted at Clarkson University. Last year’s inaugural program featured 23 regional businesses/organizations and 100+ students.
This program is specifically designed to collaborate with and to meet the needs of small businesses, branches of larger companies, and non-profit organizations in the North Country and Adirondack region. Our goal is to encourage your organization to utilize and to recruit students for short-term projects, as well as summer, semester, internship, volunteer, and full-time positions. All of our campuses have students who are interested in working regionally while in school, during the summer, and/or potentially on a full-time basis after graduation.
In order to offer the greatest return on your time investment, this year’s program will feature three distinct offerings. Depending on your needs, you may participate in any and/or all events. Please review the following opportunities on the attached page to best identify which programs may be of interest.
The following is the schedule of events on Wednesday, March 7th. The entire program will take place on the 2nd floor of the Student Center at Clarkson University.
